I would be truly privileged to support and guide you through the process of life and heart change through counseling. It is my honor to help you discover more meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. I provide a safe, genuine, and compassionate therapeutic environment for those experiencing emotional pain or difficulty. With a Christian worldview, I treat individuals using an integrated approach that combines elements from the study of psychology with biblical truth and faith in Christ.
I have expertise in providing Christian Counseling. I also have special training in treating trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Processing. I have much experience with treating anxious, suicidal and/or self-harming clients.
You don't have to be alone or live forever with this pain you are experiencing. There is hope and healing available and I would love to walk alongside you and help you find the freedom and peace you need.
