Resilience Consulting
I like to work with rough characters that are stressed and depressed but are searching for peace and purpose in life. I understand how trauma and addictions affect life and change the way we see and understand the world. I offer faith-based counseling if requested.

I specialize in skills that help prepare people adapt and overcome repeated trauma in the workplace and find freedom from addictions.
