I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with three decades of experience working in the mental health field, counseling adults, teens and children, individuals and couples. I realize the decision to pursue therapy is not an easy one. If your search has led you to this point, perhaps you’d be willing to come a little further and allow me to come alongside you on your therapeutic journey so you can start living your best and most authentic life now and see yourself become the person God created you to be.
As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years in the mental health field, I have been blessed to work with individuals, couples, and families facing various concerns. I truly value your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health, as all of these areas are important to and significantly impact your overall well-being. As your counselor, I look forward to joining you on the transformative journey that is possible through Jesus Christ. Jesus said He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10), and as your counselor, my aim is to help you live an abundant life in Christ.
As your counselor, I am determined to make your experience in therapy one you want to tell your friends about because it has transformed your life. I am committed to your growth as much as you are, and will continue to encourage you to be a better version of yourself, with God’s help. I am confident that an authentic relationship between client and therapist can cultivate the change you’re seeking that no medication, routine, or coping skill will accomplish. With authenticity, integrity, and empathy, I will point you toward the lasting hope that can be found in Christ.
With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, I bring clinical expertise and personal experience to help you heal, grow, and move forward. When life feels overwhelming, it can be difficult to hear God’s voice or sense His presence. Whether you are navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, grief, burnout, relationship issues, challenges as a new parent, or a season of uncertainty, you do not have to carry those burdens alone. Using proven therapeutic methods from a faith-based perspective, I help clients process painful experiences and develop a customized treatment plan for lasting healing and growth beyond our work together.
I have over 25 years of experience as a mental health professional, treating various conditions and concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, abuse, and much more. I offer a nurturing and supportive counseling approach, and will do everything I can to support you in finding tools and solutions for the challenges you face. With compassion and a dependence on the Lord’s wisdom, I will listen to your story and use my decades of experience to craft a treatment plan that will meet your unique needs. I look forward to seeing how the Lord uses your counseling experience to help you heal and grow as an individual and restore any broken or damaged relationships in your life.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I work with teen and adult individuals, couples, families, entrepreneurs, executives, fathers, and parents to get to the root of your concerns. My aim is not only to initiate change but also sustain positive health. Our work in sessions is designed to educate, empower, and enable you to think more clearly, get out of your own way, and align your life with what matters most to you and your relationship with God. I leverage best practices from positive health, lifestyle medicine, and person-centered whole health to achieve flourishing as evidenced by excellent physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
With more than 10 years of experience, I am passionate about helping people create meaningful change in their lives through genuine relationships, practical guidance, and faith-informed support. My work has included serving culturally diverse communities, including young adult and adult individuals, families and children, first responders and their families, and active-duty and veterans and their families. Clients often appreciate my honest and approachable style, as well as the wisdom, insight, and humor I bring into the counseling process. Together we will identify practical steps that support your goals, build on the progress made between sessions, and create lasting growth as you pursue the healthiest version of yourself, with God’s help and direction.
As a Christian Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, I love being used by God to bring healing and hope to those who are hurting. I enjoy working with school-aged children, teens, college students, families, couples, and adult individuals and am experienced working with high-risk clients struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, self-harm behaviors, anger, dysfunctional relationship/communication patterns, life transitions, abuse, and more. I also work with military families and creatives who feel stuck.
As a Christian Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I offer both psychotherapy (therapy) and counseling services. Although the focus and methods overlap considerably, counseling tends to be more problem-focused and shorter duration (adjusting to a destabilizing life transition or loss, making important health changes, or improving communication skills, for example). Therapy can address deeper, broader goals and clinical conditions, such as gaining insight into one’s purpose, breaking a pattern of unhealthy relationships or recovering from major depression or anxiety disorders. As a supplement to traditional therapy, many of my clients have also benefitted from relaxation and stress management training and/or health counseling.
