Sometimes on our life’s journey we encounter obstacles or situations that are difficult to handle on our own. A listening ear and alternative perspective can help find solutions, insights, and ways of coping that address these obstacles and lighten the load.

I endeavor to support them as they build on their strengths and insights, and to provide helpful techniques.
