You will find comfort and guidance through Christian Counseling and psychological guidance.
Thoughts of fear and worry keep you up at night. Something has changed to the point that you don’t recognize yourself. What happened to the happy person that you used to be? The sadness does not seem to go away. You’re so worried about the future that you’re unable to concentrate or enjoy the things you used to enjoy. You have tried to make yourself happy but feel stuck. Your life feels empty; there is nothing that brings happiness. It feels like you do not have a purpose for living, and nobody seems to understand what you are going through.

We are a non-profit Christian Counseling Center and offer therapy to those in need.
Journeys Counseling provides professional psychotherapy, vibrant living coaching, and spiritual direction to the community. Our work is interdenominational, serving clients from many different backgrounds, including those who have little or no religious affiliation. As a Christian organization we believe counseling should address the whole person and be respectful of people’s faith. Individual’s beliefs are both an important part of their lives and a valuable resource when experiencing distress. Counseling should assist in developing those resources further. Often, people lack support systems that help deal with personal problems.

I think it is helpful to have a therapist with many years of experience. I have been practicing therapy for over 25 years, so I have a great deal of experience with different kinds of problems/issues, and with different types of clients. I limit my practice to adults, with my specialty being older adults. Many of my clients are having issues with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or just the everyday challenges of living. I am a Christian and specialize in Christian counseling, but also have many clients who are not Christians. I enjoy helping people and seeing them improve their lives.

If your insurance won't cover, I'll try to work with you to make Christian counseling more affordable.
A lot of healing can happen in the context of a supportive and caring relationship. If you are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, marriage/relationship problems, parenting/family issues, painful life experiences or unhealthy habits, I consider it a privilege to walk that journey with you for a little while -- talking through feelings and circumstances, and helping you find a path toward change and healing. As a Christian, I believe that our emotional and spiritual sides are intertwined, and I incorporate Biblical principles in all aspects of the counseling.

As a Christian I believe that addressing mental health using biblical truths with evidence-based treatment is important for those who would prefer Christian counseling.
Beginning the process of exploring painful memories, having clarity in the present or preparing yourself for who you want to become or have in the future can sometimes be challenging to do on your own. My focus is to help you discover (or rediscover) your identity to have better understanding of self and others. With 14 years of mental health experience and training, my commitment is to work with you in the most nurturing and empowering way so you can become the best version of yourself. My expertise is working with individuals, couples, parents, and families within the age brackets of young adults, middle-aged and older adults.
