My counseling style is blunt but fair, I use humor when appropriate. I ten to challenge my clients and encourage them at the same time. I am not around forever but I'm willing to go on this journey of healing and rediscovery when you they are. I am willing to start where the client is at and remind everyone of how change is hard but it can be done.
