Walking alongside others to help them grow in becoming all they were intended to be is my heart.   Sometimes life knocks you down and you need a helping hand to get back up and on your way again.  Challenging situations can shape one’s identity, choices, & beliefs. I believe transformative change results as the root causes of one’s challenge is resolved.  Using the framework of God’s word, together we will explore those causes that have kept you from living your life with joy and purpose.  I offer both Counseling & Life Coaching depending on your needs and goals.  I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to answer your questions, get to know your situation and goals, & determine if I am the counselor or coach to walk forward with you.  Hope for tomorrow can begin with your first step today.  I look forward to meeting you.
