I am a member of
the American Association of Marriage &
Family Therapists and the American Association
of Christian Counselors. My
personal experience, background and education
have prepared me for the diverse issues that
arise in an individual’s life or family. I
work primarily with adults and adolescents, age
13 and over.
I have been
married to Dennis for 40 years and have 3 grown
children and 2 grandchildren. We attend Berean
Baptist Church where we have been members for
over 13 years.
My counseling
philosophy
If there is a philosophy behind the content of
my counseling, it is to walk with those who are
discouraged, become their personal tour guide in
the process of healing and change the trajectory
of each person’s destiny. There is a
plaque hanging on the wall of my office that
sums up my beliefs. It says this:
Sow a
thought – reap an action, Sow an action –
reap a habit, Sow a habit – reap a character,
Sow a character – reap a new destiny.
This
says it best
