Clients often tell me they were hesitant to seek counseling out of fear of being judged or criticized for their life choices. That’s never my role. Your path in life is yours to choose. Of course, we sometimes find ourselves on a difficult or painful road. I’m not here to lead you down any particular path—I’m here to act like a light on the ceiling, helping illuminate as much as possible so you can choose a healthier direction that’s right for you.
