Introduction

Hello. I have lived in Austin since 1996 and have worked in several facets of the mental health field over the past 30 years. I received my state license in 2002 and began private practice in 2018. The primary foundation of my practice stems from my life experiences, specifically those involving my faith journey. I feel called to serve individuals, couples and families within a scriptural framework, consistent with what many consider the inspired word of God, the bible. However, no matter where you are in your faith journey, I am willing to meet you there and work with you to navigate whatever you may be experiencing in your own walk. I have worked with many who are not currently of any particular faith, or may be exploring deeper the role faith plays in their lives. I offer my experience - what I've learned both personally and professionally - in hope that together we can determine what direction is best for you in a time where you may struggle to find those things. Additional services offered include pre-marital counseling, whether you are planning your first marriage or considering re-marriage. These situations often involve blended families as well. This is a vital aspect that requires realistic expectations, effective communication and understanding the dynamics involved. Separation and divorce sometimes enter into our lives, either directly or indirectly. These are also areas in which I have had experience both personally and professionally. I would be honored to walk with you through these challenges as well and to help you discover not only how to survive but to thrive as you navigate these unknown waters. I work to offer an objective view point that may serve to broaden how you view your situation and hopefully lead to effective, long lasting solutions.
