In life, there are “good” days and “today could have been better” days. We face challenges every day. Sometimes we breeze through the challenges but there are days when the challenges appear to breeze through us, knocking us down. I chose the counseling profession because of my desire to be that helping hand for those individuals who are struggling with life’s challenges.

Hi there! I work with clients who are trying to create new ways of being, change their family tree, and see their lives clearly. More than anything, I want my clients to grow in understanding of themselves and how they came to be and use that knowledge to make decisions and changes to positively affect their present and future. When I am not counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family, swimming in natural bodies of water with a picnic lunch on the side, and Bible Study!

I am most drawn to working with clients who actively engage in the therapeutic process and demonstrate a willingness to confront challenges with openness and honesty. Clients who are motivated to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and actively participate in setting and working towards their therapeutic goals. Clients open to feedback, willing to try new strategies or techniques, and committed to personal growth and self-improvement. By collaborating with clients who are proactive and engaged, I believe we can cultivate a productive and enriching therapeutic relationship that promotes lasting change and fulfillment.

In our lives we will experience suffering, hardship and brokenness. Our lives are impacted individually and relationally by it. Often we find ourselves enraged, running, or hiding as we come into contact with areas of life that seem uncontrollable and daunting. The burden weighs heavy as we are unable to be who we were created to be. The depth of suffering becomes magnified in ourselves and our relationships and we desire for a lasting change. Sometimes holding to a biblical worldview can make counseling questionable amidst the hardships of life. Knowing that your counselor has the same worldview can be helpful and reassuring.
