Great to meet you!

With over 40 years of experience in mental health and healthcare management, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and faith. My background includes managing counseling centers and student health facilities and working with diverse populations, giving me a broad understanding of emotional wellness, stress management, and healthcare access. I take an integrative, client-centered approach, blending evidence-based techniques like CBT and solution-focused therapy with a faith-based perspective for those who seek it. I specialize in emotional resilience, identity development, caregiver stress, and overcoming barriers to well-being. My goal is to create a supportive, empowering space where clients feel heard, valued, and equipped with the tools for lasting growth.I am warm and genuine in my work to help others.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and integrative, blending clinical expertise with faith-based guidance for those who desire it; recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, and spirit. With over 40 years of experience in mental health and healthcare, I blend clinical expertise with faith-based guidance to support clients in their unique journeys. I create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard and empowered, using evidence-based methods like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. My work focuses on emotional resilience, identity, life purpose, and navigating stress, particularly for caregivers and those facing barriers to well-being. I believe in a strength-based, collaborative process, helping clients develop practical strategies for lasting growth while encouraging reflection, mindfulness, and faith as tools for healing.
