My Focus Areas
My Therapy Style
As a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified grief counselor, I specialize in working with adults dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and grief. As a Christian and pastor, I have over 25 years of faith-based counseling experience and believe everyone can change and grow. I take a holistic, collaborative, and strength-based approach to counseling. I am comfortable working with couples and families to improve communication, lessen conflict, and create healthy family dynamics.
