Personal statement:

Stepping into your healing journey is a courageous and meaningful decision, and as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m here to support you with a laid-back, yet focused approach. I create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, rooted in the belief that true healing occurs through the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, authentic therapeutic relationships, and evidence-based clinical practices. My relational and collaborative style assists you in exploring challenges, clarifying your goals, and fostering sustainable change, providing practical tools and insightful guidance for your unique path to wholeness.

My practice is deeply informed by Christian principles, viewing healing as a holistic process that encompasses your Mind, Body, and Spirit. I am particularly passionate about supporting men’s issues, including the complexities of fatherhood, marital roles, and biblical masculinity. I also provide guidance for spiritual challenges, helping clients deepen their relationship with God, and offer compassionate support in child counseling. Taking the initial step toward seeking therapy can feel challenging, yet it often marks the beginning of profound relief and progress. Wherever you are on your path, I’m genuinely honored to partner with you as you pursue healing and embrace your most authentic self in Christ.

Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”

2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV) “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
