I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Specialization in Christian Sex Therapy. I was a counselor at a behavioral health hospital for seven years and a caseworker for Child Protective Services prior to receiving my professional license. I received a Master of Professional Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in 2005 and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2000. Being a counselor allows me the privilege of walking with someone in the midst of their struggles all the way to healing. I aim to provide an environment that is safe and encourages clients to be themselves, free of judgment. I favor Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Client-Centered approach.
I welcome working with clients battling anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger management, and sexual-related issues such as abuseassaultdysfunctionaddiction who are looking to make positive changes both emotionally and behaviorally. Maintain eye contact, calm atmosphere, good listening, reassuring tone. I have a natural compassion for people who are suffering and a desire to help them improve their lives.
Successful care and progress are comprised of steady improvements in mood, completion of steps and goals, and increased self-awareness. During the first session, we will review the client’s intake information, identify the areas of concern, and discuss general goals for therapy.
