If
you are
considering therapy:
I know how hard it is to make the first phone call to
initiate counseling or therapy. People tell me they begin
to feel better after just making the call. I have been
described as gentle and easygoing, and my clients tell
me thay are more comfortable than they expected to be
in the first session.

the day came when the risk it took to remain tightly closed
in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom." ~ Anais Nin
