With decades of experience as an Addictions and Biblical Counselor, I offer a variety of approaches that will assist you in succinctly eradicating present emotional and social discomforts.

Making the decision to start counseling is often difficult, and I would be honored to work with you in re-designing a lifestyle where you can experience more positivity, strength, and growth. Each therapeutic relationship is different, and I truly appreciate working with people who are authentic, sincere, open to sharing and receiving insights, and are able to trust the process as one of healing, enlightenment, and empowerment. Life can be challenging, but I believe we all want happier and healthier relationships, and the best place to start is on the relationship we have with ourselves. We will work together so that you can thrive.

We can all feel stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged, disconnected. At those times, the benefit of a supportive, objective person to work with is beyond measure.

Every brain is as unique as DNA, which means problems can present differently in people and can be triggered by different issues. I work with all ages, from children with ADHD to senior citizens with cognitive decline. Sometimes the client needs to build a toolbox, and other times, we can teach the brain new ways of processing information. It all depends on what issues you are dealing with in order to determine what solutions are available. I will guide you through what options are available for you to decide.

Therapy is an opportunity for growth and discovery through finding one's personal power and influence within themselves. I have a passion for helping others find their place of peace in a world full of mixed messages. We live in a society than can affect individuals in a negative manner, telling them who they are and labeling without respect to personal value or potential. This influence can lead to a sense of brokenness and disconnection brought on by an outside source.
