About Me
Before we start. please understand, Biblical counsel is not about religion; it's about relationship. First is my relationship with God aka Jesus and in counseling a relationship is formed with you the client. In the process, as I allow the Holy Spirit to lead me and you participate in the process, healing begins.

Whether sorting out a difficult relationship, parenting challenges, breaking an addiction, mental illness, recovering from trauma or childhood abuse, or seeking support and encouragement, I am here to help. Having dealt with the effects of childhood abuse, and my own addictions, I understand some of what you may be facing, but together we can find the answers. As an artist I may use expressive art and narrative when appropriate to help identify issues, and explore options for change. 

As a counselor, my role is as a listener and educator, offering wisdom from the Scriptures and insight from my own experience. Allowing the Holy Spirit to be our guide in the session, I help you explore, set goals, and bring needed change to your life.

Using a cognitive behavioral / relational /educational style to facilitate emotional and behavioral changes you desire, I work with you to help you meet your counseling goals. I am experienced in abuse and addictions, anxiety, stress related disorders, PTSD, and depression, and have taught classes on parenting, abuse and addiction, recovery life skills, and Suicide Prevention.
