Are you overwhelmed by depression, guilt, anger, fear, alcoholism, drug addition, grief, or heartbreak and feel out of control of your life or relationships? My practice focuses on the individual, family, and marriage in a Christ-centered counseling setting. With a Doctorate in Education-Pastoral Counseling/ MBA in Business, I provide a unique form of therapy addressing your spiritual and professional needs collectively. I seek to assist you in re-shaping the circumstances that have temporarily gotten you off track. You may have experienced a setback but working together we can make this a SET UP for something GREAT!
As a Pastoral Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, there is no judgement, only restoration using Christian principles to provide new tools to create a happier healthier you. Therapy sessions are guided by the belief that the problem is the problem NOT the person is the problem.
Collaboratively pursuing change with each session to de-stress and create improved communications thus creating a language of possibility, choice and accountability.Utilizing a successful business and real estate background, I will incorporate tools to further define you professionally and encourage you to seek your higher purpose in life spiritually and professionally.
