Testimonials:
"There are lots of therapists out there, but if you want your challenges fixed not just your symptoms treated and, in the process, loved and cared for you have come to the right place." Pastor Darren Carrington, Rock Church

"I left feeling "heard". I am so thankful and can't tell you how refreshing that was for me. " T. 

"Other therapists suggested individual therapy or divorce...we had little hope. You were able to help us understand what went wrong in our marriage and helped us to break our destructive cycle. We are now happy and our children won't suffer the horrible consequences of divorce." L. 

"My husband had an affair. We were devastated and ready to divorce. You did not judge us but helped us understand where we had disconnected and helped us to heal from our past injuries. We are now strong and helping other couples in our church." S.
