Mental health counselors help facilitate a deeper, authentic connection with ourselves and others.
Many wounds and life events may cause us to withdraw from pain as a form of self-protection.
This response is normal and sometimes useful. However, it is not sustainable. We need awareness
and compassion for ourselves and others. As a counselor, I listen to your story, looking for lost
contact, loneliness, and isolation. I identify themes and patterns. I help promote growth and
forgiveness, and a renewed sense of belonging.
