Ms Elaine Bond
Professional Counselor
“Life often throws us a curve ball, something painful, unexpected, or devastating. We all have coping strategies and sometimes they can be unhealthy ones. I work with you to find alternative ways to work with any kind of issue. I am empathic and non-judgemental and experienced in working with all forms of trauma.”
