In life I have experienced many things that led me to start a private practice to help others gain their personal power back. I know how the struggle affects a person and with the skills that I have acquired over thirty years of work I know how to help someone be successful. There is no subject or experience that I won't or haven't broached. If I don't know how to do it, I will find out how to make you successful.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients that choose to meet with me can expect someone who shoots straight from the hip. I don't feel that candy coating any situation does any favors for clients or others. I am honest, truly care about you and how you can overcome what you have been through. I try to work myself out of my job to help you be able to manage your life issues being empowered, then just checking in from time to time to let me know you are okay.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have overcome many challenges in my life. I believe God has helped and healed me through those things and I am not a wounded healer, but someone who knows how to heal. I am honest, forthcoming, cooperative, compassionate, good listener, and someone who will empower you in your life journey.
