History

Our goal is to provide personalized, high-quality care on an as-needed, preventative, and enrichment basis, so we've taken a holistic approach to Christian counseling.

As your pastoral counselor, my mission is to:
- Help you improve your emotional well being
- Stop self-sabotaging behaviors
- Enhance your ability to engage in interpersonal relationships
- Increase your comfort levels in social, work, and family settings
- Empower you with useful tools, which will help you problem solve

Choosing the right counselor is an important decision and a good fit is necessary to make effective progress.
 
My work has been characterized as compassionate, optimistic, and collaborative. I am approachable and always want you to speak freely. My office has a relaxed atmosphere so Starbucks cups are welcome.

See you soon.
