Why Therapy?
We are called to be a Light in this world and to love and support one another. Therapy overall and my personal purpose and goal is to help guide and support each individual I meet to find their own meaning and purpose in life, while finding healing, joy, and peace through the struggles and trials they may face. I also want to provide emotional support and validation to those who need advocating.

Life Verse:
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
