It takes courage to ask for help. YOU are courageous! Regardless of what brought you here, together, we can work to solve the problems you feel are holding you back. We don't get a manual to tell us how to cope with stress, pressure, and life transitions that often occur. You are not alone in your daily struggles. I'll be happy to walk along side you. I'm a great listener, empathetic, and accept people for who they are. When I'm not helping others, I love reading inspirational books like The Alchemist. I look forward to our working together!
