Carol considers it an honor to walk beside someone and provide support when life gets overwhelming. She allows the client to progress at his or her own pace,
while providing support, compassion, suggestions, and a listening ear all in a safe and private environment.
She believes that everyone is entitled to live a meaningful life and one that is freer from fear.
Her personal struggles and the ways she overcame them, gives her great empathy in walking with you on your road to recovery.
Carol has worked together with area doctors to refer for medical
treatment when necessary.
