How can I help? Not only is this the question that you may be asking as you look at profiles searching for a therapist, but this is question that I have been asking along my journey in life which led me to the field of behavioral health and wellness. It is my goal to help you unlock and unblock the things that may be beneath the surface in order to create an environment that cultivates healing and contentment in the current moment.

My typical counseling approach, and that of my colleagues at Homestead Hope Counseling Services, is anchored firmly and unapologetically in the Christian world-view. We do so with a clear, unwavering theistic paradigm that acknowledges God's sovereignty in all things, as He is intimately interested in, and responsive to, each person and all they experience. Therefore, unless otherwise directed by the client, our approach will inherently involve the use of biblical revelation and the principles found therein, when ever appropriate and applicable. The Christ centered world view is paramount to my approach to healing.

Counseling to me is a calling. I consider my path to becoming a counselor one that was designed to teach me the reality of pain and empathy, so that I might sit with others facing hardships. My passion has continued to grow and thrive as I’ve worked with clients struggling with addiction, anxiety, co-dependency, trauma, spiritual issues, grief , and relationship issues. I specialize in anxiety and OCD, trauma, boundaries, and grief . Over the course of my career, I have treated those who’ve struggled with trauma and addiction as well as provided support groups and psycho-educational lectures to loved ones.

Accepting new clients! Evening and weekend availability. Life has a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes we need a little help when things get tough. With 30 years of experience in mental health, I focus my work with clients by building trust, acceptance and empathy. This helps build a space where you can fully express yourself and process your difficult situations to move towards healing. I believe that since we are all unique it is important to use a variety of techniques and theories to help clients reach their goals.

Life has a way of bringing us to our knees at times. It can seem impossible to navigate the emotions and losses that come with being human. We often increase suffering by judging emotion negatively or attempting to avoid it altogether. It doesn’t have to be so. I’d love to help you learn to process emotion in a way that fosters acceptance and healing. I specialize in working with adult individuals struggling with grief , anxiety, OCD, body image, life transitions (ie: college, parenthood, divorce, spiritual deconstruction), and caregivers of children with special needs. I work with clients from religious and non-religious contexts.
