I am effective working with all temperaments and personalities because I will always be non-judgemental, respectful, and appreciate you as a unique and precious individual. I work with adults (anxiety, depression, anger), teens (for meaning, purpose, confidence, virtue) and married couples (communication, respect, love) to help clients flourish and love life. We will discuss everything important to YOU and, if desired, integrate Christian ideals and teaching to assist in the healing process. We will set clear goals and I will help you have FUN while we work together to achieve them! Book with me now by clicking on my website.

I offer a trusted and friendly environment where healthy connection and rapport is developed quickly and positive change happens naturally. Whether you are married or single, having loving relationships, living with meaning and purpose, and having peace in your soul can make all the difference! Click on my website to get started.

I am able to create an effective therapeutic atmosphere by setting clients at ease, promoting positive change, and restoring hope. Life is full of challenges, of course, but if you are missing the joy, fun, adventure, love and laughter, then let's talk!
