Couples and Individual Counseling
Do you want to strengthen your marriage or prevent a divorce? Or are you cohabitating, engaged or dating, and you want to get it right this time? Does stress, depression or grief trouble you? Does illness, insomnia or unresolved trauma make your life difficult? You’ve come to the right place for deep emotional healing so you can cultivate a flourishing life. As a Christian I honor all spiritual paths rooted in love. Attend private sessions or intensive retreats for faster progress. I offer Distance Counseling by phone or videoconference from the comfort of your home for Georgia residents. I offer in-person sessions at my Blairsville, Georgia office.
Contact me for a complementary 10-minute phone interview.
