I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with over 25 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse and over 11 years dedicated to counseling. I specialize in helping adults, teenagers, and seniors navigate life transitions, including relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, career changes, and grief. As a therapist, I aim to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space for clients to explore their challenges and work towards their goals. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and more.
In our first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space to share their concerns. We will start by discussing what brought you to therapy, your goals, and any challenges you’re facing. I will ask about your background, emotional well-being, and coping strategies to gain a better understanding of how to support you. This session is also a chance for you to ask questions and get comfortable with the therapy process. Together, we will create a plan that aligns with your needs, whether that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), faith-based counseling, or emotional regulation strategies. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about your journey ahead.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my compassionate and client-centered approach, ability to create a safe and supportive space, and use of practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients navigate challenges. I am skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Christian counseling, allowing me to integrate both clinical techniques and faith-based principles for those who desire a spiritual perspective. I also excel in active listening, emotional support, and helping clients develop realistic coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. My goal is to empower clients with the tools they need to create meaningful change and find hope in their journey toward healing.
I am best positioned to serve individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional regulation, particularly those seeking a faith-based or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach. I work well with adults and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are looking for practical coping strategies and emotional support. Additionally, I specialize in helping single parents, individuals navigating relationship challenges, and those seeking Christian counseling to integrate faith into their healing process. My approach is compassionate, goal-oriented, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, providing a safe space for growth, reflection, and positive change.

I have four years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients manage depression, anxiety, and emotional regulation. In our sessions, we will use CBT techniques to identify negative thought patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop coping strategies to improve your mood and overall well-being. I will provide practical exercises and tools to help you apply these skills in daily life. My goal is to help you gain insight, build healthier thought patterns, and feel more in control of your emotions.
I have four years of experience using Christian counseling to help clients find strength, healing, and guidance through faith-based principles. In our sessions, we will incorporate scripture, prayer, and biblical wisdom alongside therapeutic techniques to support your emotional and spiritual well-being. My goal is to help you develop faith-based coping strategies and find peace through a Christ-centered approach to healing.
