"I try to help my clients understand that while the past cannot be changed, moving through fear and hurt can lead to acceptance and, ultimately, peace. I believe that spiritual growth plays a vital role in this process, and I try to help clients realize the importance of a relationship with Christ as our ultimate source of peace."
