My Goal as a Christian Counselor
My goal as a counselor is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can experience recovery and personal growth in all areas of their lives. I aim to help my clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their divine worth, recognizing that our true value is found in our relationship with God.
What I Offer in Christian Counseling
As my client, you can expect a genuine interest in your life and well-being. Each session will begin with a discussion of potential topics and a review of your progress. Together, we will explore strategies and skills to promote your growth, as well as challenge and reframe any beliefs or behaviors that may be hindering your progress.
My Approach to Christian Counseling
I believe that a Christian approach to counseling provides a solid foundation for growth and development. Understanding that our Heavenly Father loves and values us unconditionally, I strive to replicate that love in my practice. By sharing and teaching this divine love, I seek to honor God and help my clients experience His unwavering support and guidance.

Marriage counseling is an amazing journey intertwining the principles of faith with the complexities of human relationships.

I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey.
Coaching
Life coaching is a transformative journey that helps clients discover their true purpose and direction in life, aligning with their beliefs and values, including finding God’s purpose for them. I will assist you in identifying your goals and aspirations while also addressing any obstacles or limiting beliefs that may be hindering your progress. By fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a deeper connection with one’s spirituality, life coaching encourages personal growth and accomplishment, empowering individuals to live more fulfilling and purpose-driven lives in harmony with their faith.
Premarital Counseling
Premarital counseling is one of my favorite areas to help in, drawing from my experience as a pastor and counselor.

Addiction
Addiction can be a daunting and exhausting struggle, but with my guidance and faith-based approach, there is hope for freedom. Grounded in the belief that “who the Son sets free is free indeed” (John 8:36), I offer support and direction to individuals navigating the challenging path of addiction recovery. Through a combination of spiritual guidance, counseling, and practical tools, I help individuals break free from the chains of addiction and reclaim control of their lives. Together, we will work towards lasting recovery and a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.
Family Counseling
Navigating family dynamics can feel overwhelming with a myriad of moving parts, but I’m here to offer clarity and support. I understand the complexities that families face and the importance of seeking guidance rooted in faith. Together, we’ll unravel the confusion and address the challenges that arise within your family dynamics. I’ll walk alongside you, offering biblical wisdom and practical tools to foster healing, communication, and growth within your family unit. No matter the obstacles you encounter, know that you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here to help you navigate the journey towards a stronger, more connected family life grounded in Christian values.
