Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
(619) 877-2560

As your counselor, I am determined to make your experience in therapy one you want to tell your friends about because it has transformed your life. I am committed to your growth as much as you are, and will continue to encourage you to be a better version of yourself, with God’s help. I am confident that an authentic relationship between client and therapist can cultivate the change you’re seeking that no medication, routine, or coping skill will accomplish. With authenticity, integrity, and empathy, I will point you toward the lasting hope that can be found in Christ.

I don’t want therapy to just be a place to vent, but a place of growth. My aim is for you to feel known, seen, and loved. I want you to feel secure in who you are now but excited about who you can be. I offer counseling for teens, adult individuals, couples, and families facing a range of issues and concerns. If you’re dealing with relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, chemical dependency, or other challenges, I would be honored to work with you to witness the Lord’s work in your life as you grow in Him.

My Goal as a Christian Counselor

My goal as a counselor is for our time together to help you determine a new outlook on your life. My aim is for you to find hope, love, freedom, clarity, healing, and everything in between. I want you to experience a sense of safety and security you haven’t experienced before so you know it is possible – for yourself and with others. My ultimate desire is for the lost to know they have a home and the broken to know they can be healed.

What I Offer in Christian Counseling

I will begin each session by outlining our expectations for the session so you are aware of what we are going to be “getting into.” In this way, nothing will come as a surprise to you and you can know you are safe in this environment to be authentic. My aim is to provide an atmosphere that feels comfortable but also challenging at times so you are aware you are growing and changing.

My Approach to Christian Counseling

The skills and the interventions of a therapist without a Christian approach to therapy will only go so far. Inviting God into the healing process allows for a deeper understanding of healing and freedom than most therapists can provide without God. My hope is that when someone encounters me, they will also encounter the light of Christ in me, therefore offering them the opportunity for faith, hope, and love. These God-given characteristics provide an atmosphere where healing can be cultivated.
