We work with adults, children and teens looking for Christian Counseling. 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, stress, trauma, suffering, depression, anxiety and extreme anger are very real challenges that any of us can face from time to time. We work with people who are tired of the way things have been going in their life, and are wanting to see meaningful change as soon as possible.

When I think of the concept of a person, I think of a being that is guided by a need to be loved and to give love. Love can take on many forms, but the most powerful form of love is that of self-love. Cultivating self-love and self-compassion is my personal goal of doing therapeutic work. I believe that we tend to pursue the things we feel like we want before identifying who we are. Our lack of self-acknowledgment and understanding can leave us confused and in states of distress. My hope is to join you on your path towards self-discovery, self-compassion, and, ultimately, self-love.

Do you find yourself plagued with disturbing, unwanted OCD thoughts and anxiety?
