Accepting new clients: I am a Christian Counselor who allows faith to be expressed. I provide a confidential and safe environment to explore specific reasons for seeking counseling.You may be experiencing difficulties with relationships, struggling with events from the past or be at a place in life you desire change and greater satisfaction. My treatment methods are based on the individual's presenting needs, assessment data and evidence-based practices. I utilize a strength-based approach, commonly using cognitive and behavioral therapeutic modalities, skills training, and education. Empathy & support will be provided.

I am helpful to Individuals with relational issues, step families' concerns, issues with church members, work, or social relationships. I also delight in working with individuals with adoption/adoptee concerns, parenting and immigration/ refugee concerns. I have a passion helping women dealing with miscarriage /childlessness and runaway children.

Faith is important to wellness and recovery process. Those who wish to incorporate biblical scriptures and prayer in their journey to healing are encouraged to do so. Many have been restored through skills taught and by supporting their faith in God and are now doing better.
