A Calling Not a Career
My calling into counseling started with a deep desire to understand God, myself, and others. This desire continues with each person I encounter.
Counseling from a Christian worldview means Christ and the Bible provide the foundational truths about origin, identity, purpose, meaning, morality, relationships and destiny. Prayer is powerful and a significant part of my calling. In Christ, hope is always present and healing will come.
With seventeen years of experience, I have counseled people struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. Finding the most helpful tools to support you will be our collaborative goal. I believe in a holistic approach that addresses the body, mind and spirit. The overall goal of your counseling experience is for you to be heard, understood, and to discover tools and courage that will help you grow, heal, and live abundantly.
Strengths Coaching (Different from Counseling Services)
The overall goal of coaching is for you to have clarity about your values, vision, personality tendencies, and strengths. You will be happier, more focused, and effective in pursuing your personal life goals.

Counseling Services
Preferred Counseling Process
The Initial appointment is 90 minutes.
At this appointment, we will discuss your present and past. We will identify what you are seeking and determine realistic personal goals and which therapeutic tools will be helpful.
· If it is determined that you need a more intensive level of support or long-term counseling, I will need to refer you to another professional due to my part time status. Intensive level of support will include crisis stabilization, certain types of trauma that benefit from more specialized care, and chronic mental health diagnosis that need weekly and long-term support.
