I personalize treatment specific to your values and needs. It is my desire as a Christian counselor to see clients holistically, encourage their self-awareness, and gently promote personal growth. I value the individual beliefs of each of my clients, integrating faith into treatment as much as you desire. I hold to the truth that “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18 NLT.

MY BACKGROUND AND APPROACH

I completed my Master of Science degree at Mid-America Christian University. I have thirty years of experience in occupational therapy serving adults of all ages with a variety of medical conditions in multiple settings. I have been married for over thirty years to my college sweetheart and am a mother to three adult children. I understand women’s issues and adjustments that surface throughout life.

While I adjust my style to fit the needs of each client, I mostly lean into my training in Internal Family Systems or IFS, Relational, Person-Centered, CBT, and Psychodynamic theories of therapy through a Christian Biblical slant. I am certified to work with premarital couples utilizing Prepare & Enrich.

After therapy with me, my clients describe feeling freedom, being in control of themselves, and being grateful to experience feelings of peace and calm. My clients appreciate the perspective I’ve shared, often leading them to an “ah-ha” moment necessary for their long-term change.
