    As a Christian counselor, my practice is guided first and foremost by my faith and commitment to being a disciple of the Lord. Clients will benefit from my trauma-informed expertise and extensive experience working with high-conflict cases. I have experience treating individuals, couples, and families using evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s individualized goals. I especially enjoy partnering with teens, young adults, and their families as they navigate difficult transitions and emerging adulthood.
