Over 30 years ago, as a young doctoral student at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, my wife was unfaithful and wanted a divorce. An unfaithful spouse can stir up a lot of pain and anger. But I had even more reasons to be angry. My entire future, career, and even degree were on the line. Anger consumed me. Unpleasant thoughts and desires swirled through my mind. To distract myself from the pain and rage, I began to run. While I had been a short-distance runner in college, I’d never run distances. Even though my first time around the track was difficult, I became like Forest Gump. I ran. And ran. And ran some more. I figured out how to drain the anger with each lap around the track. Four months later, I completed a full marathon in under four hours. And in the meantime, I found peace and forgiveness. Rather than give in to the destructive nature of anger, I learned how to constructively drain it. But it took a lot more than just running. I learned the secrets of gaining control over the extremely powerful emotion of anger. Now I want to share those secrets with you [Read More]

Even the strongest among us can feel lost, unsure, ambivalent, or unhappy at times. I believe a strong relationship between the counselor and the client fosters an environment for change by providing unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness. Everyone has a unique puzzle and different pieces that makes up who they are. As we begin to delicately restructure each piece, clients can begin their journey of self-exploration and work toward their desired change. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health that focuses on women and even fathers struggling with postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.

Throughout my journey of PPD, I came to realize that just talking to someone makes a world of difference. My journey has helped me put the pieces back together and truly understand what it’s like to be on the other side of the couch!! My experience has motivated me to turn my new found passion into a full-time career. [Read More]

I love working with the “littles” (children 5-10 years old)! They are one of my favorite populations.
