Philosophy of Counseling               
I count it a privilege to be given the opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families as they work to navigate the difficult situations in their lives.  My job is to assist the individual in increasing personal understanding and help develop a directional plan of action. I provide professional counseling services using a variety of evidence based treatment modalities and work to tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs, interests, and personality of the individual.

My experience working with children and adolescents has expanded my understanding of and have given me a heart for youth.  I have equally enjoyed coming  alongside adults and being a witness to their growth and healing  reminds me of the joy I have being a counselor.

The principles of my faith are a driving force in my therapeutic   approach. I have found that many biblical principles align with the psychology behind interpersonal relationships, mental health, and healing. I have a passion for illuminating truth, whether it be faith-based or through self-discovery. I embrace a growth mindset and strive to foster in my clients the same eagerness to learn. 

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" Jeremiah29:11
