The thought of going to an unknown counselor can be very unsettling to most people. I like for my clients to know that I see my task as being that of a guide through difficulties rather than some kind of person who has a bag full of answers. It is essential that everyone learn to face their fear, get clarity, and then get empowered to act. It is my passion to watch and assist people find the courage to take this three step journey. For me, this is the joy of being a counselor.

Philosophy in Counseling
For me, the counseling session is an encounter engineered by God where the client and I form a bond of trust. We both watch in awe as the Holy Spirit does His work. It is exciting for me to watch the growth and change as clients allow the Holy Spirit to empower them to make progress and accomplish their counseling goals.
