Counseling

Individual & Family Counseling

In my practice, I walk alongside individuals and families as they work through life’s challenges, transitions, and relational struggles. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, family conflict, stress, or identity concerns, I provide a safe and practical space to process and grow. My goal is to help you uncover patterns that no longer serve you, build healthier ways of relating, and strengthen the foundation of your personal and family life. 

Couples Counseling (Pre-Marriage & Marriage)

For couples preparing for marriage, I provide pre-marital counseling designed to lay a strong foundation for communication, expectations, and shared vision. For married couples, I help navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy, whether the relationship is in crisis or simply looking to grow stronger. My approach is both practical and hopeful, equipping couples with tools to handle challenges while fostering long-term health and connection.

Christian Counseling

As both a licensed counselor and an associate pastor, I bring together clinical tools with biblical wisdom to help clients pursue healing and growth in every area of life. Christian counseling with me isn’t about just quoting Scripture, but about applying God’s truth to the real challenges of life to include marriage, leadership, parenting, identity, and spiritual maturity. I help clients understand how faith integrates with emotional health, and how wholeness comes from aligning values, beliefs, and daily living.
