My Ideal Client

My ideal client is the individual who has a history of severe trauma yet has the desire and motivation to heal from their past so they can incorporate a better quality of life.

Everyone deserves a chance to heal while receiving safe, positive and healthy support.

I am also a preacher’s wife and understand first-hand the challenges a person faces in ministry.
