I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.
I am a person-centered therapist who uses an eclectic approach with various evidence-based strategies, including cognitive-behavioral, EMDR, solution-focused, and mindfulness strategies to accommodate a client’s needs. I specialize in couples, trauma, first responders, men’s issues, grief, life adjustments, crisis, anxiety, and depression.
The first session would include a discussion about expectations for therapy, mental health evaluation, and goals for future therapy sessions.
