God has given me a heart full of compassion and a strong desire to help others with the many struggles and challenges we face on life’s journey. My goal as a counselor is to always empower my clients in a safe and supportive environment using biblical principles and psychological truths. I am strength-based and solution-focused, and I view the counselor/client relationship as a collaborative effort. My desire is for my clients to gain insight and to move towards healing and positive change so they can live joyful and fulfilling lives.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalms 34:18
