I still love what I do after 26 years. I have extensive experience in Christian Counseling, Blended Families, Couples, Addiction, PTSD, Trauma, Sex-Offenders, and Obsessive-Compulsive behaviors. I have worked with a variety of clients ranging from ages 7 to 89, but currently am only working with adults. I am independently licensed in 3 different states as a Marriage and Family Therapist and independently licensed in 2 states as an Addiction Counselor. I believe everyone has a "gift," something that they are called to do, and Counseling is mine. I care about my clients and have the innate ability to "zone" in on what is going on with them. I use Emotional Focus Therapy, Strength-Based, Trauma-Informed, Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but it really depends on the clients I am seeing. I admire anyone who wants to make a change and is willing to reach out and ask for help. I am here for you if you are that person.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Personally, I am a wife who has been married for 41 years with 8 children and 24 grandchildren. My goal is to help my clients reach their goals. I find joy and satisfaction when I see them achieve what they are searching for. I offer a safe environment, honesty, understanding, and respect.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is my faith in Jesus Christ and my personal experiences. It allows me to be able to understand, show my clients respect, how much I care about them, and how I will help provide them the tools they need to overcome whatever issue they are seeking therapy for.
