I wish to personally state for those whom I counsel (adults, adolescents, couples, families, children and the elderly) that the work I do with my clients is dedicated to emotional support, the healing of emotional pain, childhood wounds, or any kind of trauma (a sudden crisis, relational trauma, rape, PTSD, Acute Stress, and Combat Operational Stress [COS]); better functioning in human relationships; increasing insight, psychological knowledge, and awareness; motivating clients to make positive choices in four areas: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (working within the context of each client's belief system), and to create short-term and long-term or life goals. To this end, improvement or healing in these areas will likely result in increased life satisfaction, general happiness, calmness, inner peace, and more success in major realms of living.
