I am dedicated to providing professional counseling to adults and adolescents within a nurturing, accepting environment.  I am committed to offer sound emotional care, psychological services, and an opportunity for your spiritual beliefs to be integrated into the healing process. 

I am focused on serving those dealing with Eating Disorders, Women’s Issues, or Adolescent Issues.

Specifically, I am specialized in treating:

·         Eating Disorders:  Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder

·         Body Image dissatisfaction

·         Diet Addiction

·         Imbalance of focus on food/fat/dieting and your relationship to your body

·         Exercise addiction

·         Self Image deficits

·         Relationship dissatisfaction

·         Anxiety

·         Depression

·         Infertility

·         Adoption

·         A Christian Perspective on Spirituality integrated into Counseling

I seek to help clients integrate their own personal and spiritual beliefs into the counseling process.  I would characterize my counseling as “spiritually sensitive” as I am aware of how integrated the body, mind, and soul are—healing cannot be experienced without a uniting of all of these. My own spiritual journey is distinctly Christian as I have experienced Jesus as gentle, faithful, and life giving. Healing has been found for me in a sort of homecoming of my self-experience in proper reference to the selfless love and acceptance of Christ.  A spiritual perspective coupled with psychological understanding are a strength of my practice

I am here as a companion come along side in order to coach and guide with psychological and spiritual resources as you journey toward your personal healing and goals.
