Welcome

My practice is dedicated to all those who find themselves wrestling through the various stages of life and all of the transitions life brings with it on this journey. My hope is that our collaborative work together would be life transforming, and provide you with the growth necessary to move forward.

I work with a large variety of people (both Christian and non-Christian), but these are some of my areas of specialty:

couples


teens


young adults


pastors

I help people work through a variety of issues, but some of the more common issues are:

anxiety


depression


anger


grief


sexuality


communication


boundaries


identity


technology, et cetera.

If you are ready to schedule an appointment with me, then go ahead and contact our offices and we will get the process started.

If you are interested in having me come out and speak, please feel free to .

Have a great day!
