I created Divine Grace Counseling to help individuals who need healing from the emotional pain of their past. Unresolved emotional pain is one of the leading causes of life dissatisfaction and can cause impaired judgement, health issues, dysfunctional relationships, health problems, and career stagnation. The purpose of my practice is to help my clients take the first step to healing emotional pain, by learning how to offer "Divine Grace" to themselves and to others. During our time in therapy, we will develop a healing plan to transform your breakdown into a breakthrough.
