Today, you are one step closer to a new “YOU” where you can feel empowered, positive, strong in the Lord and fill of faith on your journey to growth, peace, and well-being. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, or you need someone to talk to, I look forward to supporting you and working with you to achieve your goals.
As a Christian Psychotherapist, my goal is to help to help you navigate through life transitions, overcome feelings of depression, anxiety, and unbelief, build up your faith and Christ confidence and to forgive yourself and others. I also will help to you uncover your true potential in Yeshua (Jesus) so that you can live a life that is worth celebrating and giving Him the glory. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
By applying Christian Counseling with valid psychotherapy intervention such as Supportive Counseling, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Grief Counseling, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I will teach you how to overcome long-standing behavior patterns, limited beliefs and negative perceptions that may be holding you back from seeing yourself the way Father God does. I also will teach you effective coping strategies to help you self regulate your emotions, manage stress and reduce anxiety so that you achieve your God given purpose and experience a more fulfilling life as the Daughter of The King.

What To Expect At Your Visit
Learn About My Methods
During your initial visit, we welcome you, start with prayer and conduct an Initial Mental Health Assessment that consist of asking you a series of questions about the reason for your visit, current symptoms that you are experiencing, your life history from childhood to now, (including family, mental, educational, employment, medical and spiritual history) and your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Following the assessment, we will identify and agree on your goals and create a treatment plan that is designed based on yours needs and goals. Before the session ends, we will agree on weekly or biweekly time schedule appointments. A homework assignment is given after the Initial Mental Health Evaluation and every session. At the beginning of the each therapy session we will invite Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor in prayer and follow His guidance by the power of His Holy Spirit in the sessions. Each session will end with 15 minutes Christian meditation.
