I teach, guide and counsel on tested principles that will improve self-knowledge and understanding which lead to changing behaviors. If you have mental, emotional & behavioral problems I have tools to help you. Many of my clients have experienced  freedom, empowerment and have rejoiced in changing their lives because of the knowledge they have learned for themselves. I believe counseling is more than sharing stats, giving advice and assigning home-work. To counsel is to communicate intelligence in order to connect and balance the brain, body and behavior. It helps to overcome confusion, increase understanding, and inspire motivation to act. My guidance is a product of years of experience, studies and creativity. The guidance will be personalized to your needs. You will learn to see, understand and overcome self-defeating mindsets, feelings, behaviors and relationships. As painful as it may be to process your problems in counseling, many of my clients have considered their experiences with me as one of the most gratifying. Applying the guiding tools will help you get the understanding, connection, fulfillment and freedom you have been seeking. Lets change the world by first changing your world!
