Pastoral Counselor, Certified by the American Association of Pas
My Approach to Helping
I am convinced that people want simple things, to love and be loved, to be able to know and express ones self in work and in play, to find meaning in living and relating. I do not expect to have answers. I expect to learn with and discover with people who come seeking these "simple" things. I bring myself into the relationship and I bring some important experience in learning how to learn and discover.
