There are challenging seasons in everyone’s life that may lead to anxiety, depression, stress, relational strain, hurt, anger, and grief. But God didn’t intend for us to walk through life alone, nor to carry our burdens alone. My desire as a Christian Counselor is to come alongside you during these difficult times, to be an encouragement to you, a sounding board when you need to vent, an accountability partner when you need to change, and a reminder of hope when you feel you’ve lost your way. You do matter, and you are worth dedicating the time to find healing and wholeness.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where you feel comfortable and empowered to explore your emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with you to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.

Every person is a unique individual and it is important to consider all of the life factors affecting how each client experiences and thinks about life. Such factors may include family life, work, social environment, social supports, past experiences, physical needs (rest, diet & nutrition, exercise, etc.), spiritual beliefs, and mental well-being. I use methods that best meet each client's individual needs, and encourage my clients to work collaboratively throughout the counseling process.
