Am I crazy if I need counseling?
Absolutely not! Individuals and couples often need help in different areas of their lives. Therapy helps you take charge of your life. It helps you become more aware of how your emotions affect your actions when you don’t necessarily realize what’s happening. This leads to less blaming and living in the past, and to more assertiveness and informed decisions. Often, you start seeing that you do have options, and that you don’t have to be “stuck” in those negative patterns.  If you and your partner are experiencing relationship problems, counseling is imperative. It could be just the thing to get you back on track. 

What is your counseling Approach?
I am a Christian with a strong religious faith. This colors my counseling approach as I often invite clients to pray aloud or along with me.  I also refer to scripture at times to guide the therapy session. I utilize a variety of traditional therapeutic approaches including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-oriented therapy, and person-centered therapy.  I believe in always continuing my education often attend courses and seminars to enhance my knowledge of counseling approaches. 

With Whom Do you Work?
I work with adults and adolescents for individual counseling, couples, and pre-marital counseling.  Usually, people are experiencing a great deal of turmoil, either personally or in their relationships, when they enter counseling. But, I also work with clients who are simply trying to make healthier choices and positive change in their lives and relationships. 

What Are your Credentials?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters Degree from Georgia State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clemson University.
