Vision

Solely for the Glory of Jesus Christ, to be used as God’s instrument in the lives of every person that I am privileged to serve, to:

  1. Reflect His grace and mercy to those who are hurting, grieving or in bondage
  2. Facilitate growth towards a renewed hope in His Lordship amidst life’s personal challenges and sufferings
  3. Compel a deeper yearning to understand and pursue the Will of God through the use of tested and developing psychological methods, research and concepts, integrated with careful and timely application of God’s Word

Mission

I desire to utilize my training, experience, and God-given gifts in counseling while continuing to develop my skills through further education.  I also seek to submit myself to the Lord by practicing the disciplines of my Christian faith by studying God’s Word, developing personal holiness, and depending on the work of the Holy Spirit to accomplish these things in me.
