    are anxious or depressed, who have abused alcohol or drugs, who are looking for a therapist who will give them unconditional positive regard and respect, who are Christian and who want a non-judgmental, open and affirming therapist.

    I'm good at solving puzzles. If your life feels like you can't figure it out, I can help you. I care for people and want to help.

  • Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

    that I make it easy for you. You can curl up in your favorite chair at home and work with me while you meet me over your computer.
