My goal is to walk alongside the hurting, providing a warm and accepting environment in which they can safely set goals and move toward positive change and healing. In addition to psychological theories and techniques, basic Biblical principles, such as fighting fear, taking thoughts captive, pressing forward amidst trials, and believing that God’s love gives us value, serve as a guide for the therapy I provide.
