Congratulations!
You've taken a step that many hurting, lost, conflicted people
never take! You've made a step towards finding help and a new way
of living. The unfortunate facts are that most people fail to begin
this journey and instead remain in their pain, sorrow and misery.
But you? For whatever reason, life has brought you to a significant
point of seeking change.
As a counselor, I've been blessed with the opportunity of working
with and helping thousands of individuals, couples and families
like you with their hurts, habits and hang-ups. They're finding
life, meaning, passion and peace.
And you can find that too! You deserve nothing less!
Having taken that first step of seeking help, your next step is
finding a professional with whom you can connect and who has the
knowledge, skills, experience and compassion you need. Give me a
call or shoot me an email. Let's take that journey together!
As a legally blind counselor, I believe God has uniquely gifted me
with an ability to better see into the hearts and souls of those I
serve. Over the years, many have told me how comfortable they feel
when working with me. They are not as anxious or self-conscious due
to concerns of how I might be judging them based upon their outward
appearance or mannerisms. This together with my genuine empathy for
and desire to help others provides an environment which promotes
greater openness and trust.
"I'm so grateful for the tools you gave me to help survive the
darkest hour of my life! Meeting with you was one of the best
decisions I could have made and I'm so grateful for your time and
compassion. You really taught me how to not be so hard on myself
and to be proactive in changing my thinking patterns. Your humble
demeanor and your fatherly heart really ministered to me. I know
who to call if I go through a season like that again."
