    As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 30 years, I have had the honor of working with individuals, families, and couples through difficult times as well as good times. When working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, military/veteran trauma, life transition, infidelity, grief and loss, I have witnessed the assurance that through God, all things are possible. Most of us understand that therapy and growth require work, but it doesn’t have to be painful – in fact, at times the experience and growth can be very joyful as we depend on the Lord for strength and direction.

    I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families grow into who they would like to be by supporting transformation and healing emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. My hope is for you to recover from the lies or misbeliefs that have been keeping you from living a life of freedom – freedom to be the person God has created you to be, and freedom from any anxiety, depression, or isolation you may be experiencing. With compassion, empathy, and reliance on the Holy Spirit, I will help you discover the freedom, joy, and peace found in Christ.
