We live in stressful times and many of my clients come to me because I specialize in many areas and have years of counseling experience from a nonjudgemental Christian perspective. They need hope and guidance to overcome those issues that seem impossible. Children are navigating a world full of conflict and uncertainty. Through talking with them and play therapy we get to the critical issues. Men are hesitant to seek counseling because many times their issue has to do with sex. Pornography has saturated our world and is readily available. I wrote Conquering Pornography, a 5-star book, on how to overcome this addiction.

I offer a safe and welcoming environment for struggling people. Because I specialize in a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, sexual addiction, and children, I am able to get to their issues through a variety of approaches. I seek to meet their needs in their timing but encourage them to make positive choices.

You are hurting and I care about that hurt.

A non-judgmental Christian cognitive behavioral directive therapy. This basically means my office is a safe place to share your concerns and expect a sincere but direct response. Children learn very quickly that I hear their concerns and provide a variety of ways for them to express themselves. Men many times struggle with sexual issues and I provide ways for them to identify and overcome them.
