HEY,
I’m
Damaris!
I am a marriage and family therapist by trade as well as the clinical director and owner of The Walk of Life Counseling Center with ten years experience, but my first ministry is being a wife and mother. As a result, I can relate to the unique experience of entering the role of motherhood and also merging the two hats of wife and mom. I combine my experience and professional skillset to work with women and couples to prepare for marriage along with supporting new mothers. I'm also the clinical director and continue to support a broad spectrum of clients.
