I am accepting New Clients- I have a good deal of experience in counseling those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, spirituality, and life transitions. I assist individuals and couples to achieve their goals by helping them to gain insight, improve coping skills, and build supportive and nurturing relationships. As a therapist who is a Christian, when asked, I am able to offer counseling services which integrate faith, Biblical concepts, and psychology in a way that respects each individual’s right to develop their own beliefs. My mission is to help my clients to feel better, and to enjoy life more fully.
I have a passion for helping couples to improve communication, resolve differences, and build resilience into their relationships. I will do my best to ensure a safe environment where you may openly discuss your experiences, concerns, and feelings. I will provide a positive therapeutic setting, unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness.
Life is filled with challenges, and it makes sense to get some help along the way. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you for considering me for the opportunity to be your therapist.
