Paul believes everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. He considers counseling to be a journey where he has the honor to walk alongside his clients as they better understand themselves, their past, and their hopes and dreams for their future. Paul strives to offer a safe place to share, reflect, and find the hope and restoration his clients are seeking. He loves to listen and learn, providing empathy and compassion for those he serves.
