In today's world it seems none of us can escape stress! But, sometimes stress can cause problems in a marriage, problems with children, or in the workplace.  It can also manifest itself by insomnia or restless sleep, lack of impulse control, anger, depression, etc. Did you know that prolonged stress can be detrimental to the physical health as well?  As a professional counselor, I am trained to share tools that can often help clients find ways to make better decisions for their lives and ways to handle stress and anger more appropriately.  It is a joy for me when I can assist a client in finding greater happiness and peace in their lives.  I believe that it is no different for someone with emotional challenges to see a counselor than someone with a physical ailment to see a physician.

Two additional factors that I feel are assets to my clients
1.  I have a background in healthcare.  
2.  I also spent over 7-1/2 years researching and writing on the origins of religions, so I am familiar with most belief systems.

I am a Christian and believe counseling is most successful when Jesus, the Great Counselor is in attendance and we use Biblical perspectives along with certain disciplines of psychology.  However, I see people from all walks of life and will respect the wishes of the client whether or not we use Christ and the Bible in our sessions.
