I’m a Christian counselor for Christian women. I offer Telehealth sessions for those who live in New York State.

I believe counseling is a confidential process intended to aid you in dealing with your self-doubts, life-uncertainties, and personal concerns. I believe counseling will help you better understand your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, while you discover more effective coping skills. Consequently, counseling is a relationship between you and me. I am dedicated to helping members of the LGBTQ community who struggle with depression, anxiety, coming out, transitioning, HIV diagnosis, relationships, and social factors. I have also dedicated my life to help those who suffer from addiction issues including alcohol, drugs, sex, and gambling. I work with individuals from 18-80-years-old. I have developed an eclectic approach to therapy that fits my holistic style. I utilize many different disciplines including cognitive-behavioral, gestalt, existential, solution-focused, and person-centered therapies. I believe that all people are capable of change and strive to become the best that they can be. I possess the knowledge, motivation, and enthusiasm to assist you in realizing your personal goals through your past and current life experiences. Together we will work on what you think is best for you. My goal is to help you raise your awareness, to achieve your goals, and to discover your personal meaning, growth potential, and psychological health.

Life presents us with circumstances; at times challenging our relationships and ourselves. Therapy can be a catalyst in the discovery of creative and viable solutions, or in the personal work toward acceptance. I bring a wealth of experience and training. I have been a faculty member with Maricopa Community Colleges and counseled students, employees and faculty in my work with Arizona State University. My doctoral research included depression, anxiety, chronic prolonged illness, as well as those facing terminal diagnosis. Individual and relationship therapy are areas of specialty; including stress, anxiety, depression, self esteem, life coaching, grief, men's and women's issues, trauma and diversity. Counseling is specialized for all clients who may be struggling, or those who just want to strengthen themselves and their relationships.

My approach to counseling is relationship-oriented and goal-focused, with an emphasis on promoting introspection. I aim to foster a comfortable, warm environment both within the walls of my office and any time I address personal challenges with my clients. This approach helps my clients achieve a sense of hope, and encourages them to develop problem-solving skills. Anyone can experience challenges, but the way you manage these challenges is important. During the first visit, I typically assess the presenting concern so I can better understand your challenges, stressors, and strengths. I will work to establish a plan that guides our future work together. I work with individuals and couples. I frequently address issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, adjustment challenges, life changes, self-esteem issues, and trauma. My clinical work focuses on the present, but my questions and interventions integrate solutions that can address both your past and future challenges and experiences.

I see my role as an expert guide to bring understanding into your emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Because life is often played out in the context of relationships, these emotions, thoughts, and behaviors not only impact your view of self, but also the world around you.
