Collaboratively, we too can explore with grace and honesty the issues that hold you back. Here the goal is growth, whether in your relationships, families, spirituality, communication skills, or your work place. I am here to journey with you! My passions are to watch marriages recover, to see children laugh again, and to support you as you gain insight into how God wants to touch your life. Specialties include working with children, marriages, and groups. This can include everything from healthy boundaries to communication to other-awareness.
