My Approach
After moving to Florida because of the call the Lord put on my life, I became a pastor of The Glory Zone. My passion to help and care for people with my need to follow God's word of being a light unto others, led me to a life of ministering and counseling. Over the course of 20+ years, armed with a Doctorate in Ministry, Masters in Psychology and Education, and Bachelors in Communication, the Lord impregnated me with the idea of W.H.I.P. - Wise Hearts Illuminating Purpose, where I use my experience and knowledge to aid others in fulfilling destiny and purpose.

Before accepting any clients, there is a FREE consultation offered lasting 15 minutes. Patient Client Relationship is very important in promoting a healthy space for great progress. Our sessions can be categorized in three sections based on your goals and how you will achieve it; Short term (3 months), Medium term ( up to 1 year) and Long Term (1+ year). Through this, W.H.I.P. can help you to feel stronger in the face of challenges, change maladaptive behaviors, look at ways of thinking that affect how you feel, heal pains from the past, and build relationship skills.
I have certifications in Ministry, Counseling and Psychology, Life Coaching, Marriage and Family, and Trauma including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Informed Care, Grief, Anxiety and Depression. This has given me the privilege of serving this field for over 20 years to assist individuals, marriages, families and groups to come into a place of healing and power to live and fulfill purpose.
