New to Grow
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with seven years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful change. My background includes working with clients across a wide range of ages, from adolescents to older adults, which has given me a strong understanding of the unique needs and perspectives at different stages of life.

In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we will create a dedicated space to connect and explore your journey through a faith-based lens. Our primary focus will be to integrate your spiritual values with practical goal-setting—identifying the strengths God has already given you and defining the specific, measurable outcomes you want to achieve, ensuring our time together is both prayerfully directed and purposefully brief.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
At Water of Life Counseling, I provide compassionate, Christ-centered counseling that integrates psychological insight with biblical truth. My mission is to support individuals, couples, and families in navigating life’s challenges through a faith-based approach that fosters healing, growth, and spiritual renewal. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking direction, I am are here to walk alongside you with hope, prayer, and practical guidance rooted in God’s Word.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to the individual. I specialize in solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and faith-based therapy, drawing on these methods to empower clients to build resilience, gain clarity, and achieve their goals. Whether addressing stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges and develop practical strategies for growth and healing.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help you uncover the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and actions, specifically identifying the 'automatic' patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will challenge these unhelpful beliefs and develop practical, evidence-based tools that empower you to shift your perspective and create lasting change in your daily life.
Christian Counseling
My practice is grounded in a Christian worldview, where I weave together sound psychological principles with the grace and wisdom found in Scripture. I provide a compassionate space to utilize prayer and biblical truths alongside traditional therapy, honoring the Word of God as a vital source of hope and heart-centered transformation.
Gestalt
I also incorporate Gestalt techniques to help you become more aware of what you’re experiencing in the present moment—not just in your head, but in your body and emotions as well. By focusing on the 'here and now,' we can uncover hidden roadblocks and help you show up more authentically in your life and relationships.
