"There is something very sacred to me about the work that I do, both with clients and with students.  I have the privilege of joining people on their journeys toward healing, and in discovering what God has in store for their lives.  There is nothing that matches the joy of seeing lives changed and restored, or the growth in students as they develop into counselors who will facilitate healing and growth in others.  It is an honor for me to be able to do what I do, and I love it!"
