Welcome!

And this isn't me staring at you across a desk!

Not everyone does well in a traditional office atmosphere. That is why I offer out of the box, non traditional appointments to meet your needs- whether at a park so your children can play while we talk, in the kitchen making brownies, having a snack in the office, meeting at a restaurant or coffee shop, or sitting on my porch with some coffee.

As a Christian Counselor, I see myself as a teacher, a guide, and a facilitator of mental health, healing, and wholeness.

My personal journey of healing has shaped my Holistic approach towards mental health and counseling. I look at the entire person- mind, body, and spirit. 

I spend a great deal of time teaching healthy Communication and Coping skills.  

I give clients real-world, practical solutions to current problems, while also teaching them Principles and Truth- who God really is, who they have been uniquely and purposely created to be, through Temperament Therapy, and most importantly, their identity in Christ. 

I use Scripture as our Handbook on Doing Life, and point everyone to the Ultimate Source of their Healing- the Lord Jesus Christ. 

I encourage developing a deeper, personal, and intimate relationship with the Lord, through daily prayer and meditation on Scripture. The result is a one-on-one encounter with the Living Christ that changes you forever. 

AND HERE'S WHY:

Jesus is the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. (John 14:6)

You will know THE TRUTH (found in Scripture), and THE TRUTH will make you free. (John 8:32)

If Jesus is THE TRUTH and THE TRUTH makes you free, then you need Jesus for freedom.

When you spend time with Jesus in prayer and reading Scripture, He makes you free. Your Bible is the heart, mind, and soul of Jesus, poured out onto the pages. You've got to read your Bible to know who Jesus is and what THE TRUTH is. 

It's that simple. It really is that easy.

I wrap all of this in empathy and compassion, agape love, with the eyes of Christ, in a non-judgmental, non-condemning way. 

I'm not pushy. I never tell people what to do. I highly suggest solutions. At the end of the day, this is your life to live. But, I can usually see the train wreck coming, whereas the people on that train cannot. It's highly advisable to follow my advice, and put into practice new skills like Healthy Coping and Communication.

I care! I'm here to partner with you to Overcome Together!

This real-world, solution based approach, coupled with the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, is
what I believe, is the key to mental health, healing, wholeness, and freedom.
