Proverbs 11:14, 13:10 and 15:22 state that "A wise man seeks counsel... Consult with those you respect... Choose someone with experience, expertise, and spiritual maturity." Seeking help in coping with or solving problems takes courage.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages especially those experiencing conflicts in their personal and professional life. Many experience complexities and challenges that are hard to resolve.

A therapeutic relationship involves weaving compassion and understanding while developing the ability to effectively communicate in a safe, nurturing environment. Parent coaching and co-parenting are also available.
