“I see myself as walking beside my clients during their journey to recovery and healing. I enjoy reflecting back the God-given intrinsic value to those who have grown up with images tarnished by abuse and neglect. With children, I utilize strength-based assessment within a developmental model and play therapy, and I am happy to speak about any concerns you have about your child during our first meeting together. I realize that trusting your child to the care of a stranger can be intimidating, and I work in partnership with parents throughout their child’s healing process. I have 32 years of counseling experience addressing a broad spectrum of psychological, social and spiritual issues and love my work with children, adolescents and adults.” ~Kathy
