AFFORDABLE
"Compassion is the heart of my work. I provide therapy that is non-religious affiliated, client-guided and free from guilt & shame. I have years of not only working in a professional capacity, but also, years of my own personal experiences, that allow me to understand the struggles my clients cope with & survive through. I want everyone I work with to feel free from the mental & emotional burdens that hold them back. I provide a "judge free" environment where my clients can be themselves.
I have extensive experience working with all kinds of clients, but each client is one I try & understand on an individual level. I don't have any cookie-cutter answers, and therefore, I believe in going with what works for that person at that time."
