Description
Seeking help and knowing where to begin can be challenging. Over the past 20 years of working with clients, I’ve seen how life can become confusing and complicated. We often develop coping mechanisms that may help us survive in the short term but don’t necessarily lead us to where we want to be. Whether you're facing overwhelming emotions, relationship issues, confidence challenges, life stress, loss, or trauma, counseling offers a space to start making sense of things and move towards lasting change.
