After spending 24 years in pastoral ministry, I am now focusing my career on professional counseling. I believe in the capability of clients to effect change in their lives by discovering their strengths and by working to consciously evaluate the impact of their thoughts and feelings on their behavior choices. I tailor the treatment plan for clients to match their needs and expectations of the counseling relationship. I have experience working with clients as young as 10 . I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are facing adjustment issues resulting in depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and grief. The client determines whether or not spirituality will be addressed in counseling.
