"I treat young adults, adults, and older adults presenting with a wide range of life issues, needs, and concerns. I focus on maladaptive stress, anxiety, and mood instability stemming from various life situations (academic distress, finances, career, family relationships, personal relationships, and the diagnosis/treatment of physical health issues as examples). I do so by increasing self-awareness while teaching skills to refocus stress and reduce the feelings of instability experienced. I also help individuals build a healthy sense of identity and increase confidence in order to make adaptive, self-determined life choices. "

An ideal relationship will give you client room to open yourself to thoughts and feelings and learn what you want and need and how to express that in healthy ways."

"Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, problem solving and motivational techniques.

"Counseling helps people develop strategies for improved daily living. The counselor helps people clarify their thoughts and feelings so that through awareness and understanding ,improvements can be developed and implemented in their lives. I am especially interested in helping individuals, couples, and families understand their strengths and weaknesses with the goal of utilizing that understanding to enrich interpersonal relationships, achieve fulfillment, and grow personally to value themselves and others. Biblical principles and my Christian faith guide my counseling, however, I respect, value, and honor my clients’ individuality and therefore tailor my counseling to meet each person’s unique needs."

"We all experience difficulties and crises in our lives. You may be having difficulty with a life transition, grief and loss, issues related to adverse childhood experiences, relationship issues, or anxiety and/or depression from a source you are unable to identify. You do not have to face these issues alone, and I believe that I can help guide you to the other side of whatever struggle or pain it is that you are facing. Regardless of age, we all continue to have periods of growth, struggle, and change. The best way to grow and to heal is in an atmosphere of nonjudgmental, warmth and compassion, which I believe I can provide. "

"Sometimes we have lived in pain for many years. As indecision, fear and dissatisfaction become part of our regular experience, we start to believe that this may be as good as it gets. Other times, life events may cause very sudden feelings of loss, sadness, anger or anxiety that can be profound. It can be disorienting, frightening and immobilizing when faced with the intensity of these emotions. Whether your pain has been lifelong or sudden, you do not have to continue to feel overwhelmed, unfulfilled or at a loss for how to move forward. One of the most important investments you can make is an individualized psychotherapy."
