I have an authentic passion for helping my clients get to the root of their life struggles in order to discover their true life potential. Although my formal counseling career began with substance abuse populations, I have nearly twenty years of experience in the mental health field working and volunteering at various community agencies with individuals struggling with a wide range of issues including Christian faith issues, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. The reality is that we live in a broken world. An inherent part of the human experience is that we WILL have struggles; however, those struggles do not have to defeat or define us. My view of life struggles is that they are merely catapults that can be used to help us go from one life success to the next ("...from glory to glory"). Let me help you launch!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session (intake), we will thoroughly discuss intake documents and double check that I have all of the required documents completed. I will then thoroughly discuss these documents with you and provide you with the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. Once all questions have been addressed, I will spend the remainder of the session seeking to build rapport with you, and discussing your reasons for coming to counseling.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is my belief that I have been called to do this work by my Creator. As a provider who is strong in my Christian faith, I believe I was placed on this earth by God to fulfill His purposes for my life...the primary purpose of which is to help others. During His time on earth, Jesus said that He did not come to be served, but to serve. I believe that I have been called to the counseling field to serve, and I consider my role as a servant in this area to be of the utmost importance.
