I think the ideal client is one who would enjoy working with me and who shares the same values, beliefs, and goals, who would feel comfortable working with me, and who would benefit from my services. Some of their issues could be one of many, for example, they have anxiety and anger that's taken over in every area of their life. They need to have a vision for freedom that keeps them out of bondage. To have a safe place to express their feelings. This involves having understanding, empathy, and support of one another. They want someone who can enhance their potential and have a healthy life, with less anxiety. Nothing is impossible.
Our journey together embraces the concepts of repentance and change, principles that emphasize personal responsibility and the potential for positive behavioral transformation. Through my extensive counseling experience, I've discovered that some issues have a spiritual dimension, rooted in a lack of application of biblical truth and struggles of life.
Life can throw us into storms, but let me assure you, you're not alone. Taking that crucial first step toward healing is an act of strength and courage—a step towards discovering the real you. With a heart of compassion and genuine empathy, I offer my undivided attention to help you discover the real you. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

I am a Board Certified Temperament Therapist, which is the tool used to identify a person's temperament. Temperament, is simple terms, is the inborn (not genetic) part of men that determines how he reacts to people, places and things. in short, it is how people interact with their environments and the world around them. Temperament pinpoints our perception of ourselves & people who love us.
