As a cognitive therapist, I believe that belief systems either propel us forward or impede our growth.
Hello! I’m Priscilla
Many of us learned new things during the COVID shut down. I learned to propagate plants. I discovered that plants grow new roots at the points where wounded. This growth happens with time and care, much like counseling, to replace woundedness. Addressing woundedness enables us to reach our full potential and fulfill God’s calling and plan for our life. As a cognitive therapist, I believe that belief systems either propel us forward or impede our growth.
A lifetime of leadership in both the US Army (Retired) and Veterans Healthcare Administration (Retired), I understand systems and job stress. I am a combat Veteran of Desert Storm (82nd Airborne Division) and Iraqi Freedom (4th Infantry Division) and served with the United Nations Mission in Haiti. I served on the Pain Committee at the Veterans Healthcare Administration and know how physical suffering impacts mental health.
As both clergy and therapist, I do my best work addressing how belief systems impact mental health.
