About
I do pastoral counseling with an emphasis on integrating eclectic modalities that are client centered. I believe truth and grace must be in balance, one without the other is counterproductive. I have many years of experience involved with care ministries in a large church and am board certified as a Christian Counselor by the International Board of Christian Care.
I love seeing people grow and become unstuck in various passages of life that can be debilitating.
