My role as a counselor is to assist clients in making desired changes leading to greater satisfaction and effectiveness in their lives. I strive to provide a respectful, supportive environment and a collaborative approach to assessing strengths, identifying issues, and solving problems.

My essential philosophy of counseling springs from a Christian worldview, with the conviction that every person is valuable, unique, and has the potential for healing and growth throughout life. I draw from a variety of methods – particularly Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and conciliation work – adapted to the needs of each client.
