The journey through life is a process of challenge, learning, growth, discovery, and transformation. Sometimes you’ll feel confident that you’re making terrific progress. Sometimes, you may feel totally overwhelmed or just a bit uncertain.
I deeply honor your pursuits. I also know that you deserve to be kind to yourself as you pursue these next steps. Introspection is a wonderful part of the process, but it can be quite difficult if you strictly “go it alone.”
For those of you who consider yourselves to be highly sensitive, I strongly encourage you to become familiar with the work of Dr. Elaine Aaron, author and specialist on the subject of Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I am very much an HSP and Dr. Aaron’s work has been a true inspiration for my work in counseling others.
To All of My Visitors:
If you need a safe place to reflect and explore yourself with support from another person, I invite you to consider my offer of assistance: You can contact Dr. Kerlin and summarize the key issues you would like to address. I will follow up with you in writing, and then we can schedule an introductory online or telephone meeting. At that time, we will review your goals and discuss options for future counseling sessions.
I offer a full range of options for working together, including video meetings (Zoom) or email support, and research guidance where appropriate.
