About

Have you ever lost someone or something of great value? A spouse, a child, a job or career, a friend or financial security? Have you ever been hurt, betrayed, used, lied to, or cheated on by someone you loved and was supposed to protect you? Have you experienced the judgement of others who you thought were friends? Have you been in a relationship that had you confused and questioning yourself? Have you ever been so angry that you reacted to a situation in a way that you later regretted? Have you been disappointed that your story has not turned out like you thought it would?

If you feel that there is hope for writing a better ending, please call me. And if you DON’T feel there is hope for writing a better ending, please call me. I am a born again believer who has walked with Christ through the valleys and it was in such a valley that I felt called to counseling. I subsequently earned my counseling degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and my counseling style is person centered and integrative. I seek first to understand your goals and strengths and begin from there joining with you on a journey toward wholeness, healing, and peace.  If this resonates with you, I would love to meet with you in person at my office, or via my virtual office.
