I understand that even considering counseling takes a measure of courage and vulnerability. That is a great place to begin. As your counselor, I will listen intently, seek to understand you and your concerns, and work to build on your strengths to move in a positive direction. I work with teen and adult individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues and challenges including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, concerns related to aging, and much more. I would consider it a great privilege to serve as your counselor.
Life on this earth is hard. At times it can seem unbearable. As Jesus said, “In this life you will have trouble. But take heart, for I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Whether it is depression, anxiety, addictions, past traumas, loss, relationship difficulties, or personality patterns, we often need help finding that “overcoming” part that Jesus promised. I spent nearly 40 years growing in my ability to help people as a teacher, coach, home group leader, and youth pastor. Now, as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I will come alongside and walk with you in your journey to break old patterns and experience transformation.
If you feel stuck, exhausted, and spiritually sapped, I’m here to support you. I will use clinical methods and a biblical perspective to guide you toward healing. Together we will work to set healthier boundaries and help you form a renewed sense of identity as a beloved child of God. My aim is for you to gain greater clarity regarding past trauma, attachment wounds, miscommunication patterns, and more so you can develop skills and tools to reduce exhaustion and resentment. As you grow in emotional regulation and boundary setting, you will renew your capacity to act as image bearers of Christ to those around you.
I specialize in helping teens and adult individuals and couples find healing and move toward recovery from a variety of mental health issues including trauma, depression, anxiety, anger issues, and challenges with grief and loss, as well as conflict in relationships. Reaching out for help when you're struggling is one of the bravest things you can do, and the first step in finding true healing. Life is full of surprises which can sometimes seem impossible to overcome. However, with God’s help, proper guidance, and some hard work, the road ahead can look much brighter.
I offer Christian counseling for children (ages 9 and above), teens, adult individuals, couples, and families. My faith is integrated in my work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Since God is a relational being, much of my focus involves engaging in relational discussion, including how you relate to yourself, God, and others in your life. In our sessions, we will explore patterns in your life that may be helping or hindering your growth, including emotional, behavioral, spiritual, and relational habits and behaviors. My hope is that through our time together, you will develop tools to engage with the challenges of your life with courage and hope.
With warmth and authenticity, I offer compassionate Christian counseling for children, teens, and adult individuals. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity, or emotional overwhelm, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey. My desire is to help you experience greater freedom, peace, and wholeness through clinically informed, faith-based counseling. I will walk with you as you pursue emotional healing, renewed thinking, and a deeper understanding of your identity in Christ so you can.
With humility and empathy, I will listen to your concerns and work with you to establish an individual treatment plan catered to your needs and goals. Each person is unique in God’s eyes; therefore, the approach I use in each session will be based on your specific circumstances. Regardless of what you may be facing, hope and healing are possible, with God’s guidance and direction.
I offer a broad range of services, including counseling for children and teens, couples therapy, Lifespan Integration Therapy, treatment for trauma, depression, anxiety, and much more. No matter what you may be going through, I would consider myself blessed to walk with you for part of your journey toward healing, holding your story in my heart and before the Lord. My hope is that through our time together, you will gain a deeper understanding of the things you are searching for, and that the Lord will bring about healing and alignment in your spirit and soul to match who He created you to be.
