My work begins with taking the time to understand each, unique individual. This collaborative, compassionate yet thought provoking process is called "the talking cure," and it can be life changing. And through our weekly conversations you will learn to reflect on what you are experiencing differently.  Anxiety, depression or panic attacks signal the need for mental health services; analytic methods get at the underlying issues to resolve the symptoms.

I am a Christian counselor integrating the best that modern psychology has to offer with a solid understanding of the human person as created in the image and likeness of God. I utilize modern, research-based psychotherapy methods, and believe that my degrees in clinical psychology, philosophy, and the humanities influence my practice in such a way that I treat the human person at a deeper level than is typical of the field.
