It can be difficult to work through many topics we experience in our lives and collaborating with a counselor can initially be something we are nervous and fearful about. I empathize with these common emotions, and I pledge to make our discussion environment warm, comfortable, and genuine. Trust and deep listening are vital to our counseling relationship, and I will make these the top initial priorities in our discussions. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you, please reach out to schedule time to begin our journey together. I offer flexible times for sessions, which include evenings and weekends.
