Currently Accepting New Clients! I am a professional therapist with over 30 years of experience working with individuals, helping them cope with their emotional and psychological needs. I am committed to providing clients with high-quality counseling services to help them achieve well-being in their lives. I adapt my solution-focused treatment approaches to meet each client's unique personal goals. I view every person as having inherent value and deserving of my full, focused attention, help, and time. I use a holistic approach and strive to establish a supportive and affirming therapeutic relationship with my clients.
I work with adults and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I utilize CBT, mindfulness, and supportive, strength-based approaches in my therapy work with clients. I offer Christian Counseling for those clients seeking an integration of Christian principles with professional therapeutic interventions.
I have over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, providing services for clients. I have extensive experience in delivering psychiatric crisis intervention services in the community and have treated individuals across a broad range of ages and psychological needs in a variety of clinical settings.
