About
Hi, there. I’m so glad you have taken the time to visit my profile. Here are a few things to know about me- I have been practicing as an LMFT for 21 years. I love what I do and my passion is offering Evidenced-Based Practices like DBT, especially to those seeking to honor Christ with their lives. My expertise is in working with those affected by Borderline Personality Disorder (those living with it and those that love them.) Most importantly to know about me is that my relationship with Christ is central to all I do inside and outside the therapy office. My commitment to my clients is to help them grow in their relationship with the Lord and to walk in such a way that they glorify God with their lives. My commitment is to pray for you inside and outside my office and pray for my own discernment as I counsel you. God’s Word will be a central guiding force in all that we work on and I commit, as your therapist, to daily be studying the Word in my own personal time. I hope that you will take a look at my website and please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have.
