I am also well prepared to help clients of faith effectively integrate spiritual convictions and concerns with psychological understandings and emotional health."

"My approach is to not only develop a warm relationship with every client, based on trust, honesty, and understanding; but to also apply treatment methods that work and help improve your quality of life. I believe therapy can help every person reduce negative thoughts and emotions, improve relationships, and increase personal insight and awareness. Most people who are looking for a therapist are searching for an ally and someone who can help them get relief as soon as possible. I work with every client to develop attainable goals and bring about the change you have been looking for."

"We live in a dynamic world, and it's not uncommon to bump up against challenges that create stress, heaviness, worry and fear. These everyday challenges can feel even more intense if you're struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma issues or a life transition, such as caring for an elderly parent. While most people could benefit from counseling, there are times when the extra support and guidance provided by an experienced therapist becomes vital to mental, emotional and even physical well being."
