With God’s help and proven therapeutic techniques, you can overcome the things that hold you back, become empowered, and believe the truth that you are valuable and loved.

As a counselor, I seek to be sensitive to my clients’ physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual condition during any given session, following their lead to determine which direction we’ll go with our conversation. I try not to push beyond their capacity, but rather gently guide and point things out as we travel together on the path toward healing and well-being. I provide a welcoming, judgment-free zone in which clients can share their burdens and feel heard and understood. I’d love to chat with you about how you can write a new chapter in your story.
I am a goal-oriented and progress-driven counselor. As a Christian counselor, my primary goals are to assist you in cultivating your sense of self and strengthening your relationship with God.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, it brings me great joy to be someone you can trust.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA), I have over 20 years of extensive clinical experience working with patients from young adults to elderly from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. I offer counseling for a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, grief and loss, abandonment, and much more. It would be my honor to partner with you as you work toward spiritual and emotional healing and wholeness while drawing strength and guidance through faith in Christ, the Word of God, personal testimonies, and proven therapeutic techniques.
Each of us experiences times in our lives when pain, stress, confusion, or despair overwhelms and threatens to consume us, or when we find ourselves stuck in patterns that we can’t seem to escape, desiring change but unable to figure out where to begin. It takes tremendous courage to admit our need for help, and even more so, to ask for that help. And yet, this is often where healing begins – when we allow another person to come alongside us, help us to see what we can’t see, and offer a sense of hope for us when hope seems absent. It would be my honor to join you wherever you are in your journey toward greater emotional, relational, and spiritual health and freedom.
I offer an emotionally safe and secure environment where you can feel comfortable being vulnerable and free to share whatever concerns are weighing you down. Together we will seek to discover the root cause of your distress and bring lasting restoration. As your counselor, it is my desire to be able to give “a word fitly spoken” (Proverbs 25:11), and to speak words that are right on target with what you need to hear. As we partner with Christ, you will become more aware of your abilities to overcome the adversities you face.
Are you overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors? Maybe you are losing the battle with pornography or you and your partner are working through an affair.

I offer an open-minded space where you can explore difficult topics and challenging questions, while providing gentle direction based on solid, evidence-based practices.

Together with God’s help, we can experience a life filled with His peace and joy.
