My approach to counseling

Moving through our day to day can get very hard and discouraging. Patterns develop and negative coping skills emerge especially when trauma and emotional pain compound our feelings. I would like to be a part of the process that helps you slow down, look at what is hurting, and move into a healthier you. I do this by using a variety of therapeutic modalities to help us navigate through counseling sessions. My therapeutic approach also considers clients social, cultural and spiritual life needs. My goal is to use a tailored approach specific to you as a client, based on your particular needs and goals.

I have experience in working with

Depression; Grief/Loss; Addictive Behaviors; Anxiety; Pre-Marital and Couples Counseling; Pastoral Counseling; Spiritual Direction; Mentoring.

Make an Appointment

Samaritan Center uses an Electronic Health Records (EHR) system developed by Valant for client intake and subsequent health records management. To set up your account and schedule your appointment, follow these steps, as directed by your therapist and prompted by Valant:
  1. To begin the process, first contact the therapist by email or phone (listed on this page above) to schedule an initial conversation about fit.
  2. When prompted by an email from Valant, set up your patient portal account using a validation code provided by your therapist.
  3. Fill out your demographic/insurance information in Valant. Let your therapist know when this is complete.
  4. When prompted by an email from Valant, complete our eSignature intake packet.

NOTE: All the above steps must be completed before your first session with your therapist.
