I am a professionally licensed therapist with a passion for helping people. My diverse education and years of experience providing mental health care have equipped me to effectively and compassionately address a wide variety of problems. My calling is to cooperate with the healing, transforming work of God (1 Corinthians 3). I take a holistic approach to therapy, using research-based practices to consider the physical, psychological, relational, and spiritual aspects of your life. At the end of the day, I want to help people live more flourishing lives. Christ said he came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The flourishing, abundant life is the life of courage, virtue, and freedom from despair. To live is to suffer. Suffering is an opportunity for meaningful growth. You don't have to face the struggle alone. Growing as a person brings healing. "For by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory" (Proverbs 24:6).
