My Approach & Philosophy
In doing private psychotherapy as a mental health and substance abuse professional since 1982, my solid communication skills and well-honed assessment abilities are always informed by a basis in Christian counseling. My clients’ goals are my explicit focus and making services accessible is my calling. Accordingly, I offer fee negotiation with demonstrated need.
After earning my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Cairn University in 2004, I began work in Human Services right away and invested sixteen years in direct pastoral counseling. I continued additional counseling and coaching work throughout the passing years – as clinical case manager, primary therapist for individuals, couples and families, group therapist, and as a therapist for impaired health care professionals.
My therapy and coaching work is also informed by the experiences parenting my 31-year-old daughter, my 35-year-old son and his 2-year-old daughter, my granddaughter. My son is the Head Baseball Coach for a small liberal arts college near Greenville,South Carolina and my daughter is a Medical Assistant and involved in many activities using her musical gifts with voice, guitar and choral groups in SanDiego, California.

I have been thinking about this shooting at the Christian school in Nashville. I am just so heartbroken for these families who lost their loved ones. Three nine year old children are dead. Frankly, I am angry that these innocent children at this school have been subjected to something so traumatic and horrible. I’m sure that God is so grieved and weeping.
I believe that there’s no justification for violence. Our country has lost its ability to protect our children. I am fearful of the future for my granddaughter.
We need a spiritual awakening to address this pattern of hatred that is perpetuated by “the us and them” mindset. I don’t know what the answer is to stop the violence except to look for the answer in my faith in God. There will come a time when we turn back to Him and his example of loving kindness. I’m believing that God will deal with the evil in this world. I’m not God and I know He will right all injustice and pain that humans have inflicted upon one another. I know that I will trust HIM when I don’t understand. There have times when I have wanted justice in my life but I know that God has given me opportunities to speak with love and compassion despite injustices. I continue to pray and it is my desire to be a part of helping the wounded and hurting. Some things I cannot do anything about but there’s some things I can do something about💙🙏💙
