I am committed to working hard alongside my clients to provide professional, insightful counsel that is rooted in a biblical worldview. Many of the people I work with struggle against persistent anxiety, regularly fight off dark thoughts, or suffer as a result of trauma. Often, those individual experiences are even deeply interwoven with one another. Amidst our suffering and pain, I believe the Lord is faithful to bring freedom and healing.

Being a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for many years, I have enjoyed a type of therapy that allows an individual to find freedom through acceptance of their issues rather than running from the reality of their existence. As we come to understand our past and how it has shaped us, we can then begin the practice of choosing differently for ourselves in the present and for our future. This search is a sacred process where therapist and client join together, rather than a therapy done 'to' you as a client. I would like to join in that process with you!

My passion is to identify the root cause of distress and resolve those issues that may be preventing you from experiencing life fully.
