Introduction

Everyone is looking for a safe place to be themselves. As I engage with Christians and people of color I often hear, “there’s no safe place for me get help with a counselor who is like me.” This is a lonely place to be, needing help, but feeling left out. My passion is helping the ostracized find a safe place to heal and restore. Three words describing my therapeutic style: warm, compassionate, & direct. My approach is an integration of mental health tools and Christian-based principles. I believe every person has value, worth, dignity, and purpose and I seek to help you to see that about yourself. I enjoy teaching my clients about trauma, unhelpful and helpful thought patterns and managing emotions to improve overall well being. I offer Progressive Counting which is a tool to help resolve unhelpful symptoms resulting from trauma. My clients are challenged to move beyond their comfort zone to create the change they desire. I would so much like the honor and pleasure of walking along side you as you start healing from the hurts and pains you've been through; with me, you'll find a safe, warm and non-judgmental space to heal.
