"My goal is to assist Southwest Florida’s individuals, couples, and families to live healthy, God-centered lives and for children, adolescents and adults to reach their fullest potential relationally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.  I integrate sound psychology with a biblical world view.  I typically pray for my clients at the conclusion of the counseling session and incorporate scripture when appropriate.  As a Christian counselor, I believe we have the power to change – with God's help and with the support and guidance of a trained, effective Christian counselor.”
