Our relationship with God and others creates purpose and meaning in our lives. This is the foundation for my desire to help others. Damaged earthly relationships distort our image of our primary relationship with God. Counseling is an opportunity to use human relationships to achieve the ultimate goal of closeness with God; Matthew 22:36-40.

Areas of Interest: Children of special needs and their families, trauma, attachment, anxiety disorder, mood disorders, relationship skills, parenting skills. I work with clients ages 8 and above.

Education & Experience:  Master’s of Education in counseling, North Dakota State University. Training in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), TF-CBT (trauma focused), ART (accelerated resolution therapy), attachment, and autism. I have experience with individual, family, marital, and group therapy in a variety of settings including in-home, residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient. My most valuable training comes from life experiences God has given me to share with others; Romans 8:28.
