Courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it is a mindset of moving forward despite the fear because something else is more important. You are reading this page because you already realized your wellbeing is more important than whatever emotions or challenges are trying to hold you back from your full potential. You taking this first step of seeking help is truly a courageous act and a sign of inner strength. As your counselor, I will help you develop a new mindset of courage and resilience to confidently face life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe place for you to reevaluate your lived experiences, emotions, and thinking.
Through counseling you will discover inner strengths and will envision new opportunities and direction for your life. Where you currently see trials, I will work to help you see the potential for hope and joy. I would love to walk alongside you and support you as you take those first steps on your journey toward wellness and joy unlimited.
