As a counselor I believe in another especially when they cannot believe in themselves. Each person is unique with differing situations that life has presented: depression, relationship issues, anxiety, eating too much, eating too little, low self-esteem, forgiveness, spiritual quandries, and no self-identity. It is these things and more that together we explore because they take from us our meaning and purpose in life. I like to explore what gives meaning and balance, and peace to ones life.
We will work together to determine what your goals are and determine what we can done to achieve those goals. My goal is to walk with you so that I understand how you make sense out of it .
If you are struggling to find your authentic voice , if you are struggling with finding your path in life due to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief or transitions and you are ready to accept responsibility for your life, work with me.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. Respect, sensitivity and compassion I am a pastoral psychotherapist and a family and marriage counselor since 1989 .

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
