I believe that educating patients on the appropriate tools and coping skills will help them to learn healthy symptom management. My areas of specialty include working with military families, anxiety, depression, couples counseling and Christian counseling. I look forward to helping you with your mental health needs.

My approach to therapy is very is to create a warm and understanding approach to allow clients to openly discuss their issues and concerns.

As a therapist it is important to assist clients with learning and understanding emotional responses. The therapeutic approach most often used is CBT. This approach assists clients with managing their behaviors. The goal is restructuring how they think and perceive things to change the way they respond.
