I enjoy seeing a wide variety of clients as I am able to offer them some unique perspectives to improve and change their current situation. It is my hope that our work together will challenge you to grow in ways you imagined and in some you do not. I have been a pastor in the Lutheran church and that gives me some unique abilities to help you utilize your faith as a strength. Although faith is not a prerequisite to counseling, I offer faith based counseling for those who have spirituality as one of their resources. I also see the value of animals in the lives of my clients and we offer a pet friendly environment.
I have been a general mental health practitioner for many years. I am able to treat multiple issues simultaneously. I have a history of working well with people who have serious and persistent mental health issues and offer some help in accessing other resources. I offer compassionate caring assistance to those who want to improve their lives.
Feel free to call and discuss what you are looking for in a therapist. We can decide together if it is a good fit for you or if you should continue your search. You will find someone who has your best interest in mind and cares about you as a person.
