My experience as an Adoptive daddy of two children has given me a heart also for the foster/adopt community.
No matter your age, you may have trauma that needs to be addressed in order to find the quality of life you want. Life may be filled with stress and anxiety, or you may just feel like you don't belong. What about your walk with God? Are you struggling to know His plan for your life or plan steps to reach your goals and dreams? Relationally, there may be something that seems to be separating a couple rather than helping them come more together. Or a family is experiencing struggles that needs someone to help guide them through exercises to find peace again.

Life, huh? It's like trying to untangle a box of Christmas lights without losing your sanity. Life can be a roller coaster ride, filled with twists, turns, and loop-de-loops. Anxiety can be overwhelming, depression can feel like a heavy weight on your shoulders, and trauma can have long-lasting effects. Or maybe you struggle with health relationships, substance use, anger management, impulse control, or feel like a mischievous gremlin lives inside you controlling your life. Here's the good news - you don't have to face these challenges alone. I firmly believe in the power of a collaborative, non-judgmental approach.
