Message to clients

Hello wonderful human! I am honored for an opportunity to walk along side you on your journey towards wellness. I know you're probably feeling so many different emotions, and have multiple thoughts about the journey ahead. You are here for a reason (I could guess, but there's a million different reasons someone begins the search for support from a professional). I won't guess the reason, but I do know when people get to this point they're ready for a change. You're ready to make changes in your life; you're probably sick and tired of how you've been feeling, the thoughts you've been thinking, and maybe even over some behaviors you have. If this is you, you're in the right place.

Together we can navigate your journey ahead. I let you lead the way, and will be by your side to provide guidance as needed. A mentor once shared this metaphor with me that I summarizes my role as a counselor: "I hold a clients light for them until they are ready to carry it themselves." This light is hope. I have so much hope for you and I know you are capable of creating the life you want and deserve.

Although, I am not the perfect counselor for everyone if you think we are a good fit and want a chance to talk to explore your options more, please contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation call.
