Personal Statement
As a Professional Counselor I enjoy assisting my clients in developing creative alternatives to everyday life, love and work challenges. We purpose to serve the Community of North Georgia through providing quality and professional counseling and Biblical psychotherapy to individuals, families, couples and groups. With that in view I work with you to develop successful strategies for our everyday life challenges.
My first love is applying proven skills to enable powerful change in our relationships with ourselves, with others, at home, and at work.
I enjoy the challenge of variety with families, couples, individuals and kids. We love working with the whole spectrum of age and stage of life: from young children to teens up through young adults, middle age and older. And, coaching and leadership consultation with professionals and teams is offered.
Our specialties include: relationship repair, self-management and control issues, conflict resolution, and spiritual life issues. Some other common concerns are parenting and blending families; complicated anxiety stress related needs; depression concerns; and many kinds of relationship challenges such as betrayal, abuse, addiction recovery, sexual addiction, and couples issues.
