I am a practicing therapist in Statesville, North Carolina. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I have over 20 years of experience as a pastoral counselor. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My primary goal is to provide a grace-centered, non-judgmental, safe environment where healing can truly occur. My theoretical basis for counseling includes the integration of a Biblical worldview with compatible psychological perspectives. I also help clients find their true identity through a Christ-centered Identity Discovery Process.
I work with clients facing a variety of emotional, psychological, spiritual, and behavioral concerns; relational issues, conflict resolution, job or loss-of-job stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and bereavement. I am especially passionate about marriage and family therapy. In my counseling, I stress the keys to successful relationships.
As a counselor, My goal is to build trusting relationships with my clients. I diligently work with clients to develop realistic goals, tailored to each individual's situation, and a strategic plan to achieve them. I believe that we are whole persons, with physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects.
