Accepting New Clients. In 2012, my nephew was murdered. Nothing in life could have prepared my family and me for the sudden loss that shattered our worlds. I sought the help of a professional counselor who guided me to healing through support and compassion. The concept of "you have to go through the pain to get to the healing," enabled me to transition from accepting the death of my nephew to healing and moving forward. By turning pain into purpose, I've made a complete professional pivot from education to counseling.
