- Psychologist
I am a Christian psychologist who provides therapy to clients using a faith based approach. I am very familiar and comfortable with addressing difficulties related to depression, anxiety, loneliness, problems in relationships, criminal behavior, and sexual behavior problems such as excessive pornography use, infidelity, and unhealthy sexual interests. My goal is to help you find hope and meaning in your life, as well as confidence that you can be mentally and emotionally healthy no matter how difficult your circumstances or life situations become.
I have been a licensed psychologist since 2011, and the majority of my work involves providing counseling in both group and individual formats. I have worked in many different contexts but the majority of my experience is with underserved groups such as economically disadvantaged individuals and criminal offenders.
I look forward to working with you and helping you to achieve your mental and emotional health goals! Whether or not you reach out to me, please know there is hope for you. You are not alone!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
