Magdalena Weeks, M.S. (on leave)

“Most people experience times when they feel overwhelmed by life or circumstances, and they need some help in moving forward in a positive way. Life events, personal issues, difficulties in relationships, or things from our past can hinder us from moving forward and from leading the full life God intended. Taking the positive step of going to counseling can help get a new perspective on a situation, work through personal or relationship issues in a positive way, and facilitate the process of finding a positive path for the future.”
Magdalena Weeks, M.S.
