Congratulations!! You have reached the next step on your new journey in life! We know it is difficult to come to counseling and even harder to choose a counselor that works for you. We are in such difficult times and our ACCC family wants to work with you!! Working with ACCC means that we believe that every individual has the key to successful outcomes within themselves. Ultimately we believe that you are the expert in your life. Our motto is "Authentically Inspiring Real Hope to Real People". This motto is representative of what restoration of hope can mean in healing everyday relationships among everyday people.
I am a LCSW-S, LCDC, CPC, and PHD my past and current experience as a therapist has allowed me to work with families, groups, individuals, and couples. While working with families I utilize various approaches that include, marital/premarital, play therapy, family education, Christian counseling, sports performance and trauma informed care modalities .
ACCC staff have over 20 years of experience in the field. Individuals are treated with the utmost respect and made to feel their needs matter. We offer online and telephonic sessions At ACCC we focus on the relationships and process, not what people may believe is the "problem" at hand. We welcome you at ACCC and we are ecstatic to be a part of your journey.
