I counsel from a Christian perspective to children, adolescents, adults, and elderly individuals. I service individual, family groups, and people in crisis situations. I help the people I’m working with discover better ways of dealing with emotions and uncover problematic thought processes. My approach is to balance empathetic listening with instruction and wise guidance. I view counseling as a partnership between the therapist and the client. Working together, we can uncover behaviors, beliefs and thoughts that simply are NOT working and explore more effective ways to deal with life’s issues. The types of issues I am experienced working with include: mood, behavioral, personality and adjustment disorders, academic and career decision-making, grief and loss, major depression, phase-of-life problems, job stress, parenting skills, behavior modification, financial stress, partner/relational problems, infidelity issues, worry/anxiety/panic disorders, social stressors, complacency, irritability, codependency, individualized future planning and crisis/trauma response, sex/substance addictions and anger management. I also develop and teach training seminars for non-profit organizations and churches on topics such as: relationships, conflict resolution, goal setting, and discovering purpose. I truly believe that sometimes you just need a little help. I would love the opportunity to be your therapist.
