Personal Statement
I believe that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made and that God did not make a mistake when he created you. Everyone experiences struggles in their lives; but it is your response to those challenges that determines the overall impact it will have on your life. Counselors serve as a light to come along side individuals when they feel lost in the darkness of their own lives.
