Utilizing counseling modalities like CBT, Transactional Analysis, Solution Focused, and spiritually-based healing modalities based on scriptural wisdom (if desired), we will work together to create a lifestyle that will best leverage your life to create a foundation in healthy relationships, cultivating a ripple effect on each key area of your life (physically, mentally/emotionally, spiritually, and life purpose). I enjoy working with adults, adolescents, couples/families, and people from wide-ranging socio-economic, cultural, and spiritual backgrounds to rework thinking patterns, behaviors, and self-talk to create a healthy life balance and an opportunity to find the fulfillment and richness that life has waiting for them. Depression, trauma, divorce, anxiety, addiction, and faith-based issues are some of the several areas of life that I work with.”
