I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I obtained my B.A. in psychology from Southern Illinois University. My interest in male/female relationships led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University. But I don’t only work with families. Families are comprised of two individuals who were reared in his/her family of origin from which they developed their worldview and values. Two unique individuals come together, bringing their experiences with them into the relationship. These differences can result in conflict. My job is to help them see how the conflict arose and constructive ways to resolve

Most people who start therapy feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns. Maybe you know you’d be happier if you made changes but you don't have the time. Your life isn't really all that bad and you think you should be grateful for all you have. Instead you're just a tad disgusted with yourself. On top of that, if you're in a relationship, you just want out of it and into something new, but the idea of hurting your partner in the process keeps you from doing something different.
