"I honor the courage it takes to begin counseling.  I feel privileged to hold a safe, confidential, and sacred space for your healing process.  I believe you have what it takes to navigate these turbulent waters you find yourself in.  Together we'll explore and discover what's blocking the flow, clear the debris, and chart a course for your most free and fulfilling life." ~Elizabeth
