I enjoy working with anyone and do not push spirituality, but if you are looking for christian counseling I have specific experience and education in blending counseling with faith.
Counseling seems like a strange thing. You are supposed to tell a stranger all the intimate details about yourself and focus on the worst parts of your life - and pay for it! It sounds horrible, but counseling can be a wonderful and transformational experience in someone's life. Having healthy conversation with someone who is nonjudgmental, empathetic, and trained to help can really help you take the steps you have always wanted. I would love to see if this strange thing can transform your life.

Are you a parent who’s concerned about your child or a woman navigating a new season of life? Sometimes, these burdens can become too much to bear on your own. Your child may have started behaving differently, worrying excessively, or having difficulties at school. You love your child, and it’s so difficult to watch them struggle and not know how to help them! Perhaps you’re walking through a season of grief or loss due to death, divorce, or another big life change. You haven’t felt like “yourself” in a long time, and it’s starting to impact the way you work, feel about yourself, and connect to the people close to you.
