These two scriptures ignite the natural longing I have to care and reach out to people going through a tough time. My passion is to come alongside, encourage, and guide the discouraged, the broken, and the hurting by promoting wholeperson health and well-being from a Biblical perspective. Remember the saying, "Two heads are better than one?"
I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can identify and refine goals, troubleshoot or discard strategies that have not worked and develop new ones to promote the change, peace, and fulfillment you have been searching for.

I believe that the Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God, delivered to the world through mere men as they were moved upon by the Holy Spirit. I believe in the triune Godhead, manifest in three co-equal Persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-yet who are One God. I believe that human beings were created by God to fellowship with Him.
