Mission Statement:

I have a holistic approach to the care of people: concern for the well-being of body, soul and spirit. I often integrate Christian, biblical truth into counselling, when the person is a believer. Insight into shame issues is frequently developed. Losses/grief work are important facets of care. I encourage the inclusion of medical and psychiatric care in the process of helping people.
