Welcome! I believe that counseling is an exploration of our personal lives, and can lead to a discovery of the best versions of ourselves.

Typically, when we are in a place where we feel emotionally paralyzed, we are stuck feeling helpless. The hope is that utilizing therapy can help you get "your voice back" and feel empowered again.
