I believe the relationship between therapist and client is integral to positive therapeutic outcomes. I enjoy helping clients discover their own creative potential in addressing the life issues they face, so I tailor therapy to suit each person's distinctive needs and desired well-being. I am interested in serving children and parents: for over a decade, I have worked with hundreds of children and parents in the field of music, and the understanding I have gained through this work greatly enriches the therapeutic process, and gives me valuable perspectives on developmental, familial, and parenting issues.

Christian Counseling with an Open Bible. Intrusive negative thoughts, shame and guilt from past decisions, and the lack of clarity about your God-given purpose can be devastating. Emotional breakdowns, increased stress, and sleepless nights become the new norm as you fight to quiet down or chase away the persistent inner thoughts/voices. It's down-right SCARY as uncontrollable anxiety and spiritual uncertainty set in, leaving you to wonder, “Where is God?” “Why is this happening to me?” and crying out, “I just want it to stop!” When positive self-talk, distraction, and deep breathing are not working you need something else.

For many of us, including Christian leaders, our desire to make a lasting difference at work can often lead to burnout, strained relationships, and reveal real problems with people-pleasing. As work stress intensifies, the risk of anxiety and depression increases, and sadly enough, our most important relationships often suffer the most. How do you overcome these struggles and gradually attain the balance and fulfillment you yearn for? While it’s not easy to achieve, it’s truly possible. I believe true flourishing is within your reach when you are pursuing change in a time-tested manner, with a trustworthy therapist.

When people feel isolated or alone in their situation, they need someone else to help them gain a new perspective, feel differently, or at times escape the state at hand. My philosophy is to view therapy as if it were a "tune up" to help people keep operating through life. Just like cars need regular tune ups and oil changes to keep running smoothly, people also need regular check-ins and support for internal issues. This is especially important for people of color and minority populations because they face additional societal challenges (including microaggressions) that may or may not be overt but are often painful.
