I am a Christian Counselor seeing clients for marital, emotional, and family issues. I like to work with serious and deep issues in a safe and laid-back atmosphere. I've been doing this for eight years and enjoy it immensely. I use primarily Cognitive-Behavioral and Biblical approaches to get to the root of your issues so they can be dealt with convincingly. It is hard to believe, but the things you have carried around for YEARS can be minimized and often resolved. Some work is required, but results are a lot more possible than they presently feel.

Many of my clients are adolescents and young adults who are dealing with mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience with this age group and know how to empower them to use their skills to effectively handle life's challenges.

Hi!! Thank you for visiting my profile and I commend you for making a decision to release that which is no longer serving you and accept yourself as beautifully flawed. I am an eclectic therapist specializing in EMDR, yet catering treatment plans which meet the needs of my clients and their willingness to change. I specifically work with children and adults who have a history of trauma which is impairing their ability to function and prohibiting them from living freely and wholly.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Many individuals struggle with overthinking, worrying, restlessness, and tolerating uncertainty. Imagine living a life where you better understood your patterns & emotions, had decreased stress, and accepted uncertainty. I have worked with many individuals from different backgrounds, including adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, OCD, life adjustments, relationship difficulties, and social anxiety. Anxiety can make us feel stuck, but there is hope.
