Life comes with difficulties. It is my role to assist you in finding your direction and reaching your mental health goals when life challenges occur. We will work together to achieve the best possible results for you. Counseling with me will require your active involvement in efforts to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have experience in grief and loss counseling; anxiety/stress management and depression; relationship issues; personal and spiritual growth issues, and pre-marital counseling. My interest in pre-marital counseling is related to my belief that early counseling gives an opportunity to explore critical relationship issues prior to marriage, thereby increasing the likelihood that marriage will be lasting and satisfying. Personal growth is also an area of experience. A new addition to my practice is life coaching. It is my belief that as one develops his potential, he is on the pathway to the realization of his God instilled life purpose. While I see the world through a Christian perspective, I sincerely respect individual expressions of personal beliefs. I make every effort to make individuals with whom I have the privilege to work feel capable and valued. If you are ready to move forward in your life, I am here to journey with you.
