| Quote | ""People often come to counseling feeling stuck and trapped but are afraid to move beyond their familiar stuck place. My life motto has always been "nothing ventured, nothing gained", and I work with people to help them move safely beyond their safety zone to a place where they feel happy and comfortable."" |
