Why “Red Bird” Counseling?
To me, the Cardinal, with its vibrant red plumage, embodies both hope and strength. Whether appearing in the shadows of our darkest days or singing joyfully in the light, these birds serve as a reminder to embrace the profound potential inherent in each new day.
My Values as a Counselor
Choosing a counseling relationship with me means inviting the core values of integrity, honesty, and compassionate care into our shared journey.
I understand the significance and vulnerability that comes with sharing strengths, challenges, and the depths of the heart—I've walked the path of personal therapy at various points in my own life.
