Life will be difficult at times and we do well to walk it together. Proverbs says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." What I offer is simply this; to walk with you - and/or your
child
- through whatever you're facing and help you see it through God's eyes as revealed in scripture. To clarify with proper perspective what has happened and what is happening now is helpful. What even better is knowing what we have to look forward to. "Gospel" means good news and I guarantee that there is great news for you. There's an abundant life promised to you by God Himself. If you want to be well, we should talk.

It may be a touch melodramatic to say this yet I believe reaching out for therapy is courageous. I so enjoy my work as I am routinely deeply touched by the courage I see from clients in my office every day! Therapy here is a collaborative struggle together. It is also a very personal process as a therapist's greatest gifts usually come from her/his own

My 30+ year career in psychology began with a specialty in the behavior problems of
children
and adolescents. Although this continues as a specialty, my practice has evolved to include adult, marital, and family issues. I place a strong emphasis on enhancing family harmony and cohesiveness through "common sense" parenting and developing sound marital relationships. I am aware that certain adult mental health issues may negatively impact family functioning. In some instances those adult issues need to be addressed first. I attempt to include the school and other agencies in the treatment plan when indicated.
