Welcome. I work with adults and children looking for Christ-centered professional therapy. Being Christian doesn't make us immune to suffering and you're not alone in your struggles. We live in a fallen world. Family issues, trauma, suffering, depression, anxiety and extreme anger are very real challenges that any of us can face from time to time. I work with people who are tired of the way things have been going in their life, and are wanting to see change as quickly as possible.

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

Hope. What to expect from our first session: My goal with our first meeting is to help you feel as comfortable as possible with me and the therapy process. I'll start by asking you if you have any questions and then I'll explain a little about myself and my process. After that, I'll start asking questions about how you've been feeling lately, your goal for therapy, and what problems you'd like help with. Using that information, I'll ask relevant follow-up questions to make sure I understand the most important details. Our first session will last about 55 minutes.

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

After working with children and adults in crisis for the last 5 years, I've found that my ability to listen well, remain calm, and use humor, helps tremendously to make the therapy process more comfortable, productive and helpful. I genuinely care about people and I use a lot of strategy in my work to help people move forward in their life as quickly as possible. I like to help people learn new coping skills, solve life problems in practical ways, and to explore healthy boundaries. Above all, I enjoy encouraging people in their faith. Psalm 34:19-"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all."
