About: I have been a therapist for nearly 25 years. I have been trained as a trauma therapist, however, am experienced in treating all mental health issues. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is of utmost importance. While knowledge of therapy modalities is definitely important, a good fit between therapist and client is essential. My belief in and relationship with God drives my passion for meeting the needs of my clients. I am very straightforward in my approach to therapy. Having been trained as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist I am always going to align with truth and help my clients through whatever painful truths are revealed.
