* TELETHERAPY PROVIDED AT A SLIDING SCALE* The self can be the source of much mystery and turmoil. Unexpected life events, interpersonal troubles, and difficult transitions can leave you feeling lost. Sometimes we can lean on our community and other resources, but it can be tough to find a safe space to explore our true needs and feelings.

Life can become challenging at times and individuals survive by searching for meaning and purpose in their lives. I work with Couples, individual adults, and adolescents. I believe that meaning in our lives come from 3 primary sources; Love for others and self, purposeful work and finally, courage when difficulties arise. I believe addiction, aggression, and depression is the by-product of the lack of understanding of the purpose in our lives.

Emotional pain and mental challenges can overwhelm us and keep us from reaching our goals. In these times it is often necessary to seek professional assistance to move us past the ruts in our lives.

My approach to therapy is specific to each person, and stands on the biblical teachings of Jesus Christ, healing the heart and spirit that are so important to Him.
