Why I choose counseling because after battling a serious illness, God helped me to realize the gift I have with people. The ability to help others through difficult times is a gift I need to start utilizing in a more professional way. For many years of my life, friends and relatives have always asked my help with problems that I may or may not have experienced. This has opened a door in my life as far back as my early teen years. This door has never closed. I want to meet the needs of people, by equipping each person I meet with the tools they can use to get through most life situations whether they are seen or unseen. Realizing with these tools they can overcome depression, anxiety, abuse, mental disorders, traumatic events, suicidal tendencies, and low self-esteem. I have battled some of these same disorders in my life. I know from firsthand experience how challenging it can be to break free. However, no matter how challenging it may be, it can be done. For the last 16 years I have co-counsel and counsel those in our church and community therefore I know how important it is for people to have a safe place to express their deepest thoughts, hurt, and aspirations. We all will experience some kind of trauma or crisis in our life, this specialization will help me to be a more valuable therapist to help with the healing process as a therapist, I want to concentrate on the individual person, the couple, and the family. Pinpointing the origin of their problems to improve communication skills and understanding among family units, marriages, and couples. I am hopeful to build a strong and healthy community for all. (The word of God put it best (1 Corinthians 12:26) If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Let me walk along aside you through your journey of a wholesome life.
