My goal with my clients is for them to work towards a Healthy balance of Body, Mind & Spirit. I have been in private practice for over 28 years and my main focus has been to work with Christians to help them do their work in dealing with the issues that have they have experienced in their life. They need to do their work so they do not continue to live in the dysfunction of their past. I help them to have a healthy psychology and a healthy theology to live a better life. I always explain Christian Counseling to secular counseling is the secular counseling is from the neck up and Christian Counseling is from the neck both ways.

Infidelity, conflict, communication problems, lack of intimacy? I can help. I am devoted to strengthening couples through helping restore connections, create new healthy interactions, and develop safe and secure bonds. I create a safe, non-judgmental place to work through many of life's challenges. My approach to the struggles within a couples relationships is to identify the negative cycle that keeps couples from connecting, understanding their attachment needs, and expressing their emotions. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman Method to improve relationships, develop stronger connections and meaningful communication.

There they are again. The feelings of fear, worry, stress, powerlessness and shame. These feelings keep you stuck and make you feel miserable. I’d like to offer my services to you. Relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and attachment issues are all reasons why men and women seek my services. Additionally, I have treated teenagers and children in the foster care system using expressive therapies. However, my specialty, is in “I’m at the end of my rope;” “The same sh** keeps happening to me;” “Part of me just doesn’t feel right.” I've been helping people step out of that story for over fifteen years.
