Navigating life's journey can be overwhelming. For over twenty years, it has been my privilege to meet people where they are and partner with them in difficult seasons. It is my experience that having someone to share your burdens can often provide healing and the courage to seek physical, mental, and spiritual wellness.

I offer Pastoral Counseling to men, teenage boys, and couples.
Seasons of life come and go and with each season comes new challenges. Many times, turning the page to the next chapter is difficult. While serving in pastoral ministry for over 10 years, I've had the privilege to witness many individuals and couples turn the page and experience the life that God desires for them. You can be all that God has created you to be and you can experience life abundantly. Sometimes we just need a little help reaching goals and working through situations and circumstances. I want to help you find the abundant life and turn the page to your next chapter.

My experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families across a range of ages and backgrounds, but I currently focus primarily on teens-young adults.
Sometimes we know something isn’t working in our lives—but we’re not sure how to fix it. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, experiencing relationship challenges, or going through a major life transition. Whatever brings you here, your needs—your why—are at the heart of the work we'll do together. I’m a goal-focused therapist who believes therapy should be active and collaborative—not just sitting on a couch talking about problems. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in your way and build practical tools to help you move forward.

Medication is not the only answer. It is only one piece of the puzzle and can only address part of the problem. One cannot emphasize enough the role of exercise, a healthy diet, getting a good nights rest, learning healthy coping skills, setting healthy boundaries, prioritizing our life and setting realistic expectations. We want people to know they are more than a diagnosis. We want our team to make a change in our patients' lives so that they can care for themselves, their family and finally, their community.

Thank you for reading. I'm one of the "old school" ones. I meet in-person with people, and I think human-to-human interaction is important. I value research and science-backed approaches to therapy, not the latest trend on the internet. I have over fifteen years and over 10,000 hours experience helping people work through challenging circumstances which has taught me how to listen to people and help them find the right path forward in their lives. If you want a traditional therapy experience that is science-informed, I think I can help you.

Life can feel heavy at times — especially during periods of change, uncertainty, or loss. Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and feel supported without judgment. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support during a challenging season of life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy can be a meaningful step toward clarity, healing, and growth.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
