Karen D. Rowland,
Ph.D., LPC, NCC Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance, they awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon, they stay in our lives for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the SAME! That would be just like a counselor, because counselors help CHANGE lives!
MY FAMILY You will find some pictures of my wonderful family since they are such an important part of who I am.
