Great to meet you!

I was struggling to cope with a disability, depression, and anger between the ages 16 to 23. I was in a car accident in 1999 that severely damaged my spinal cord and caused me to rely on the use of a wheelchair for 20+ years. Building a relationship with God and receiving support from love ones helped me to cope or overcome my disability, depression, and anger. It also gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles.

My approach to therapy

Use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy to explore the triggers of mild, moderate, and severe depression and anger along with spiritual exercises (scriptures, meditation, prayer, songs, encouragement, self-talk, etc.) to manage depression and anger and to evaluate and change your thinking patterns to manage your depression/anger.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to increase their hope, trust, and faith within themselves that they can cope or overcome their concerns with motivation and hard work. They can expect to feel encouraged and empowered to accomplish what they put their minds to. They can also expect to think more positively rather than allowing negative thinking to take control over their minds and lives.
