My Approach to Helping
You'll enjoy and benefit from my unique, insightful, caring, witty and effective approach to helping people deal with life's challenges. Contact me now for real help.

As a legally blind counselor, I believe God has gifted me with an ability to better see into the heart and soul of those I serve. Over the years, many have told me how comfortable they feel when working with me. They are not as anxious or self-conscious due to concerns of how I might be judging them based upon their outward appearance. This together with my genuine empathy for and desire to help others provides an environment which promotes greater openness and trust.
