Encompass Counseling

I believe firmly in the benefits of counseling and listening to the needs of my clients. Much like adults, children and adolescents can benefit from counseling to help manage conflicts at school and home such as bullying and divorce of parents. Help in these areas can aid in social and emotional development in adulthood.
