THE ROLE OF A COUNSELOR
I am not here to fix you. You are not broken. My role is to help you identify and resolve the internal, external and interpersonal conflicts, both conscious and unconscious, that are preventing you from maximizing your life's potential. To put it simply, I'm here to help you live your best life.
