Domestic Violence Evaluation
I am committed to helping others define who they are. I believe that our past or life choices influence our behavior, but they do not define who we are. One of my missions is to assist clients to find meaning in their experiences and learn to develop a sense of peace that comes from making sense of our experiences. I strive to be direct and genuine with the space and time provided. I work with individuals over the age of 14 to improve their lives while working toward healing.
