Through the lenses of psychology and social work, my approach revolves around adopting a "person in the environment" perspective. Together, we embark on a journey to uncover your inherent strengths and areas that pose challenges. We delve into exploring your coping mechanisms and resilience in the face of life's trials—be it the loss of a loved one or pet, job instability, health concerns, financial burdens, or relationship complexities.

With nearly a decade of experience as a Christian counselor, our sessions may also center on fortifying and nurturing a robust, enduring faith. We can explore aspects of your spirituality, working together to bridge any gaps you perceive in your spiritual journey or reinforcing elements that you feel are missing in your life."My goal is to support people so they can become their best, richest, most fulfilled selves."

Drawing from a spectrum of theoretical orientations including CBT, MBCT, and ACT, I specialize in employing a faith-based methodology to address a wide range of mental health conditions, relationship struggles, adjustment issues, trauma, emotional distress, abuse, and addiction.

With two decades in Public Child-Welfare and prior experience in Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment for five years, my practice reflects a unique fusion of interventions and expertise tailored to navigate life's most intricate challenges.

My professional journey demanded a Trauma-informed approach long before its widespread adoption. Beyond the conventional trauma narrative framework, I've ventured into emotional healing of soul wounds, freedom through prayer, as well as post-traumatic growth, as a powerful pathway to not just healing but thriving.
