** I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Everyone struggles at some point in their life.

You, as my client, are the number one focus. As a mental health therapist/counselor I place great value on working in a supportive environment and assisting you to develop goals to help you become a better individual who lives life to the fullest.
