My heart is to help other grow through the challenges of life to become who they were intended to be.   I understand that challenging relationships, situations, and illnesses can significantly shape and guide emotions, choices, and outlooks, often leaving individuals feeling like they are merely surviving rather than thriving.  I offer a compassionate approach to help clients navigate their challenges and find their way into a more fulfilling life.  Using the framework of God’s word, we will explore and confront root causes to life’s challenges to foster healthy relationships with yourself, with your faith, and others.  I offer 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.  Renewed hope for tomorrow can begin with your first step today.  I look forward to meeting you.

Practice Description
