I'm passionate about shepherding people through difficult times, providing support, and helping people grow. I believe that seeking help through counseling is a sign of strength and hope; we all need help at various times in our lives, and I'm honored to be able to use my gifts and skills to help people find hope, healing, understanding, compassion, and empathy, as well as practical tools to make a difference in your life and future. I believe I have a supportive, practical, and relational approach to counseling with an emphasis on hope and the strengths of those I'm counseling.

I'm certified in the premarital/marital counseling program Prepare/Enrich, and I enjoy helping couples experience intentional marriages. I have special interest in depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, attachment, spiritual issues, temperament and personality differences in relationships, communication, adoption & foster care concerns, abuse issues, and clinical supervision of therapists.

I am able to provide Christian counseling but also see clients of any or no faith and strive to treat all people with respect. I am honored and thankful to have the opportunity as a therapist to be an instrument of God's love, peace and hope.

Taking the first step toward getting help is often the most difficult
