At times we find ourselves struggling to navigate. Through safe and effective methods of counseling, I can provide helpful tools, approaches, and encouragement to help you make the best choice for navigating the waters before you.

After completing my masters degree in social work with an added specialty in addiction counseling, I obtained my clinical license. Prior to individual therapy, I worked in general mental health inpatient and outpatient, as well as, substance abuse treatment facilities. I am trained to counsel a wide variety of clinical issues, such as anxiety, depression, anger, life adjustments issues, grief and loss, codependency, premarital, marital and divorce, family conflict, stress, and substance abuse.

I have completed additional training in Christian Biblical counseling, assisting those who prefer Biblical principles integrated into the healing process. At the preference of each individual, Biblical counsel can be incorporated into the therapeutic approach.

Taking this first step can be difficult, but every good journey starts there. I hope you will reach out today.
