I utilize over 20 years of mental health experience in providing personalized faith-based counseling to those navigating life's challenges. Clients take away from sessions a greater understanding of themselves, their challenges and strengths, and the steps to healing, growth, and restoration.
I specialize in working with people struggling with emotions, thoughts, life stressors, past events or choices, or relationships. Together, we find the thought patterns that undermine living a fuller life. We address barriers and build new skills and life patterns, leading to greater clarity, freedom, confidence, and inner peace.

Ever since I took a psychology class in high school, I was drawn to learning more about people, behavior, and growth. I was always a person that people sought out to talk with about their problems. Eventually, I was convinced that I could do my part to be a help and support to people who need it in a way that was focused, trusted, and professional. I care deeply about those who are suffering or confused, and am compelled to do what I can to help bring healing and clarity. It is a truly humbling privilege to make a difference in someone's life.

I begin my day with a walk, quiet prayer, reading Scripture with personal application guidance, and coffee.
