As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 18 years of private practice experience, I am passionate about helping my clients move beyond the pain into a more enjoyable life in Christ. Whether you’re dealing with individual struggles, relational problems, or family issues, we will work together in a supportive, collaborative environment to find the solutions that work best for you. Looking for a therapist may feel overwhelming, but you’ve already taken the first step on your path to healing. I look forward to continuing the journey with you and watching the Lord work in your life through our sessions together.
As your counselor, my ultimate goal is for you to experience lasting positive change and the freedom and hope that come from Jesus Christ. With humility, empathy, and wisdom from the Lord, I will work with you to explore the root of your symptoms. Together we will learn and practice adaptive strategies to alleviate the suffering in your mind and body, and work to discover new narratives about yourself and your experiences. As we spend time delving into your story, my hope is that God will give you the grace to discover meaning and purpose in the midst of your pain as we look to Him for healing and restoration.
I am a Christian psychologist with decades of counseling and mental health experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I offer therapy for children, teens, adult individuals, couples, families, and groups. My primary goal is to help people help themselves. Using a short-term, solution-focused approach, I will employ motivational interviewing techniques to help you establish clear, monitorable, measurable, and attainable goals. Whether you’re looking for support for issues related to anxiety, depression, addictions and chemical dependency, relationship problems, trauma, anger management, or other concerns, I would be honored to walk with you on the path toward healing and wholeness in Christ.
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.
I believe in you. I believe in you, because I believe in the God who gives purpose to your life, and He is perfect and good beyond our capacity to fully comprehend. Counseling and therapy do not save us – only Jesus can do that through faith by grace alone. But the Lord does invite us to partner in places in the work with Him, and counseling and therapy are a tool to use to sustain us and to grow us, and can be an instrument for significant healing. It serves as a type of furnace for the refining process; a forge for shaping and molding us even more into what we are to become. Counseling is both a process and a space where you – if you commit yourself to it – will leave changed. When you enter this space that has no requirement of a box you must fit in, you will be met and valued as "fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14) and experience the love God has for you.
As your counselor, I will actively listen to your concerns and take the time to understand what you are experiencing. With unconditional love and support, I will meet you where you are and work with you to develop individualized goals and strategies based on your unique aspirations. My desire is for you to see yourself the way God sees you and experience the hope that comes from His grace and mercy. As a Christian therapist, my counseling approach incorporates better understanding what the Bible says in addition to psychological interventions that will help each individual experience healing in their lives.
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. Perhaps you struggle to believe that God even sees you at all. Whatever the issue, let's address it together. As your counselor, I will help you uncover the root of these thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and together we will work toward creating realistic and trackable goals for you to accomplish. 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.
I am passionate about meeting clients in their toughest seasons and fostering healing together. I approach the counseling relationship with empathy and a holistic framework that we are complex individuals who require complex treatment. I understand that it takes time to heal. My goal is to walk alongside you and help you develop skills that will lead you toward the person God created you to be. Together with God’s help, we can experience a life filled with His peace and joy.
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.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, it brings me great joy to be someone you can trust. I am passionate about walking beside you on your healing journey, and will listen with empathy and care for you and your family. Using various therapeutic methods tailored to suit your individual or family’s needs, I will identify effective solutions to help you overcome the challenges you face. Whether you are a child, adolescent, family, couple, or adult individual coping with past trauma, addiction, depression or anxiety-related stressors, life transitions, teenage challenges, relationship issues, or other concerns, I would be honored to work with you. Through God’s abundant love, I am here to support you. With hope and faith through Christ, you have the ability to grow and heal.
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.
My mission is to be the catalyst in helping you heal, grow, and create sustainable change in your life for a more hopeful future. You no longer have to face the pain, struggles, and challenges alone. I will help you identify the problem, uproot your obstacles, and create an actionable plan to empower you to accomplish your purpose and deepen your spiritual, physical, and emotional quality of life. My goal as your counselor is to guide your journey from where you are to where you want to be.
