Personal Statement
As a Counselor, I will walk alongside you through your journey and help guide you through your struggles and conflicts, so that you may reach your full potential to live a healthy life. I believe therapy is teamwork between the client and therapist, working together to find the best solutions to the client’s struggles and conflicts. As a Christian, I believe God created us uniquely, loves us deeply and desires each of His children to seek Him, especially during times of strife and hardship, so we may be made strong.
