Introduction

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a strong background in both clinical therapy and leadership within the behavioral health and home health fields. Over the years, I’ve worked in roles ranging from direct client care to leadership positions, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of the challenges individuals, couples, and families face in real life—not just in theory. I specialize in working with men, professionals, couples, and families who are navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional burnout. Many of the individuals and couples I work with are used to being strong for others—whether at work, at home, or in their communities—but are looking for a space where they can be supported, understood, and equipped with tools to move forward. I have a strong focus on supporting men, while also working extensively with women and couples. I am passionate about helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and reconnect in meaningful ways. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where both individuals and partners feel heard, respected, and empowered in their growth and healing journey. My approach to therapy is practical, supportive, and goal-oriented. I focus on helping clients and couples build clarity, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication, and create meaningful, lasting change. I aim to provide a space where you feel both supported and challenged in a productive way. For those who desire it, I also offer faith-informed counseling, integrating Christian principles into the therapeutic process in a way that aligns with each client’s values and beliefs. My goal is to walk alongside you as you work toward growth, healing, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of purpose.
