"Christian ministries are where God has sent me over the last several years. Helping homeless men and women that suffer from addiction is where my passion for counseling began. Working with a non-profit geared toward helping women find their way back to becoming productive member of society was my latest venture. I have worked with first generation college students helping them transition from high school to college. I have served as treasurer for my church choir along with teaching vacation BibIe. I am looking forward to the joys and struggles private practice will bring. "

"God never intended for us to face the problems in our lives apart from Him. He desires to be involved in the process of bringing about healthy and holy change in our lives. Jesus said that "Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." I strive to base my counseling approach firmly on Scripture. For the Bible is God's perfect, powerful, life transforming and saving word. God has spoken, definitively, regarding all areas of our lives. He, indeed, has the answer for whatever your problem(s) may be."

"In one's walk towards wholeness and change, there are various barriers and hindrances one must overcome: The prism in which we view life, the messages we received about ourselves from our family of origin, what has happened to us and what we tell ourselves about it, our fear of feelings, and our learned coping mechanisms are just a few. As a Christian counselor, it is my desire to provide a safe and accepting environment in which we can walk and work together to expose, understand, and overcome these barriers."

"The greatest gift you can give to yourself is the gift of counseling. Life is challenging to navigate for all of us, at some point each one of us needs help with life.

Together we journey through depression, anxiety, trauma, spirituality, identity, grief & loss, life transitions, difficult family dynamics, anger, forgiveness, shame, guilt, and much more. I have learned that pain is deep, but healing goes deeper."

School stress, peer pressure, high divorce rates, overflowing schedules, parent job loss, and other more traumatic events can make the road to adulthood rocky.

"Have you ever heard a piece of music played with the instruments out of tune, or the drummer off beat? Or tried to listen to a country band but your neighbor is loudly playing classic rock? Like music, life is better and more enjoyable when it is lived in harmony. But with daily stress and today's busy "go-go" pace; it is easy to find your life out of harmony. Depression, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, trouble sleeping, easily frustrated and irritable are all symptoms of a life out of harmony."
