Do you ever feel looked-over, not heard or less worthy? Do you have people in your life who seem to be excelling but some days you can barely muster the energy to look at your to-do list, let alone accomplish much? Have you experienced loss - as in a loved one passing away, or loss as in divorce, a break-up, job loss or friendships ending? We can often feel alone, but that is where Mare comes in. She creates a safe, open, accepting and confidential space in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings to be empowered for change.
Mare is offering counselling services in person and online to help others reach their goals and guide in their healing. She is trained in helping adults with their mental health, grief support, life skills, caregiver needs and more. Mare welcomes people of all backgrounds and identities.
