Offering Light and Hope During Challenging Times

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.
