I have over 20 years of experience helping adults, teens, families, and relationships in crisis. I have 15 plus years experience as a school social worker for K-12 and college.

I have been married for over 20 years and have 6 beautiful children.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with individuals, and couples at all age ranges for the past 20 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b)create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with people who are motivated for change in their life or relationships, and they are ready to put in the work to achieve the goals they have in their heart. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives and careers, and they are looking for someone to help them get to that next step.
I have been using CBT for as my primary approach to assisting clients in meeting goals, and overcome obstacles they are facing in relationships, marriage, parenting, jobs, and life. This is used in my practice to help clients identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that are hindering them from the goals they want to achieve.
I have over 20 years of experience using faith based therapy. As an ordained Christian Pastor I have witnessed that clients respond very positive to treatment that impacts the emotional, mental and spiritual. My faith based approach is centered on the whole person from a biblically based perspective.
I have over 20 years of experience in relationship counseling for couples that are dating and married. I also provide counseling for those who single or recently divorced, but are looking to date in the future.
