Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

With you every step of the way

Services Offered

  • Individual Counseling

    Services are offered to children, adolescents, and adults with issues including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, A.D.H.D., or other behavioral issues. I incorporate a collective, holistic approach using cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapy. If the client chooses, we incorporate faith-based counseling, as well. Are you ready to become a happier, healthier version of yourself?

  • Family Counseling

    Families are the fundamental and arguably most valuable groups in society. Healthy family dynamics are an important aspect of both individual and group functioning. Dysfunction in just one person indicates a problem with the family as a whole. My family therapy sessions will aid in improved collaboration, communication, and help your family function its best.

  • Couple's Counseling

    Every relationship has its bumps along the road. Could you improve communication or better understand your partner? Do you need to work through your differences? I offer couple’s, premarital, & marital counseling. Marriage counseling can help in addressing everyday problems to dealing with more significant issues, such as infidelity. I am a SYMBIS trained facilitator. Assessments are offered as a supplement to identify areas of improvement & achieve greater awareness. Be intentional in getting the tools you need to have a successful marriage. There is hope!

  • Children’s Counseling

    Services are offered for children ages five and up. I incorporate unstructured play therapy, art therapy, & music therapy. We play fun games & use fidget toys. Upon parent consent, we can make use of nontraditional counseling methods, such as throwing the football outside at the end of sessions to rehearse coping skills or practice positive reinforcement.

 
 
 
  • Counselor

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
