My Approach to Helping

I am a Christian Psychotherapist and believe that everyone has a destiny, however, various experiences, perceptions and life events often send us in another direction. Many people become stuck or have difficulty throwing off old thoughts and behaviors. The Soul brings various symptoms, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders to move us forward. Working through these symptoms leads to a positive outlook on of life. My goal is to help individuals work through the symptoms and build on the strengths and potential within a person. Discovering these gifts can help alleviate negative symptoms and enable you to move into the future with a new awareness and zest for life.

My experience includes working with individuals, families, couples and adolescents. The approaches I use are psychoanalytical and psychodynamic which include working with individual's dreams and life synchronicities. Therapy will involve psycho-spiritual strategies/interventions to help develop your individual insights to enable the broadening of the personality.

I obtained a Masters and Doctorate in Psychology and Counseling from the University of South Dakota. I also hold a Doctor of Ministry degree and Master of Divinity Degree. I have over 25 years of experience as a Jungian Psychotherapist counseling individuals, families and groups.
