About

As your counselor, my goal is for you to experience increased hope and meaning in your life. I offer support for teens, adult individuals, and couples struggling with a variety of concerns, including anger management, anxiety, depression, relationship problems including codependency and infidelity, trauma, grief, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and much more. With God’s guidance and direction through Christian counseling, hope and healing are possible. You don’t have to struggle alone. There is no doubt that every struggle we go through can make us stronger. The secret is learning how to move through your struggles. It is my goal to help you identify your struggles and learn pathways to overcome them. Together we will work through your struggles to achieve a healthy mental attitude. I believe this is possible for you with the Lord’s help.

My Goal as a Christian Counselor

My aim as a Christian counselor is to bring healing and hope to every client that comes to my office. My primary desire is to help people and to provide a welcoming space where they can feel comfortable expressing their needs and finding support and solutions for the challenges they face.

What I Offer in Christian Counseling

You can expect to find a welcoming environment where you will experience God’s love and care for you. I look forward to hearing your story and learning about the reasons you decided to pursue counseling. We’ll discuss what you hope to gain through your counseling experience so we can establish a customized treatment plan to help you reach your goals and desires. You can expect a positive, relational approach as we work together to take steps toward your healing and growth.

My Approach to Christian Counseling

One significant benefit of Christian counseling is the hope that it can offer to a person. Providing therapy from a faith-based perspective builds a foundation for one to work with that also brings strength and hope in a way that secular counseling does not provide. My faith encompasses who I am as a counselor and serves as a strength regarding how I approach people. As I have grown in my faith and my walk with the Lord, it has helped me to know how to better help and serve others.

Biography

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Texas A&M University, Commerce, TX, and a Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Religious Education, and Doctor of Ministry, all from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas. I have also completed Levels One and Two of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training, SYMBIS Premarital Counseling Training, and First Responder Training.

My Call to Christian Counseling

I served in pastoral ministry and provided pastoral counseling for over thirty years. I realized a primary strength was in counseling, so I went back and earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling and became a licensed counselor. Counseling is my passion because it allows me to help people work through the difficulties in their lives.

Anger Management

If you struggle to manage your anger, I would be happy to help. Together we will discuss when and why you feel your anger coming on, and the effects of those emotions. We can discuss past events in your life when anger played a role, and talk about the escalation and de-escalation scale as it relates to anger. I will help you learn how to use effective tools to de-escalate your anger so you can better manage your emotions when you start to feel angry.

Couples Counseling

If you and your partner are having challenges in your relationship, I would be happy to help. I will listen to your story to learn the reasons you have pursued counseling and the issues you are concerned with. I will talk with you and your partner together and also spend one session with each of you by yourselves in order to hear both stories individually. In our sessions together we will seek to identify the core problems and build upon solutions. Depending on your preferences, we may also use Scripture throughout treatment to bring strength into the relationship.

Individual Counseling

With over thirty years of pastoral counseling experience, I have helped individuals and couples work through a wide range of issues and concerns. No matter what you may be going through, it’s not beyond the scope of what God is able to heal and restore. My aim is to restore hope to those who are feeling worn down, disillusioned, distraught, and defeated. Using proven therapeutic techniques paired with an approach based on the God’s Word, I will gladly walk alongside you to help you realize and become the person God created you to be.

Infidelity and Affairs

Infidelity is a painful experience that can result in many mixed emotions from each person affected. If you and your spouse need support and guidance navigating the aftermath of an affair, I have experience helping numerous couples work through the process of healing, forgiving, rebuilding trust, and strengthening their marriage relationship. God is in the restoration business and He delights in making broken things whole and new.
