By utilizing a combination of psychological theories and Biblical truths, I hope to reflect the love of Christ and serve as a source of comfort, encouragement, and insight to my clients in their time of difficulty. Life is a journey full of joy and pain, blessings and trials. Sometimes we all need someone to come alongside us and walk with us through difficult times. As a counselor, it is my deepest desire and greatest privilege to join my clients on their journey toward hope and healing.
