Hi, I'm Loretta Johnson,


Professional Counselor

I believe that each of us has a special purpose and place in this
world. Finding and living out this meaning brings joy and peace. As an elementary and special education teacher for the last twenty-five years, I am excited to pursue a new calling working with individuals, both young and mature, in the community. I am passionate about a life of authenticity, integrity, and service while guiding, healing, teaching, and learning in all areas of life. I look forward to connecting with you on this sometimes difficult but beautifully rewarding journey!
