As the founder of Directed Steps Counseling Center, I am passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and find hope for a healthier future.

​

With a strong academic foundation in psychology and counseling, along with personal experience navigating blended families and divorce, I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. I understand that life can be complicated, relationships can be difficult, and taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, work through challenges, and discover practical ways to move forward.

​

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, with a special passion for supporting adolescent males and helping families navigate complex relationship dynamics. Using an approach that integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems, and pastoral care, I help clients develop healthy boundaries, improve communication, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships.

​​

Beyond client care, I am equally committed to helping other therapists thrive. Directed Steps Counseling Center was created to be a place where clinicians can grow their private practices without walking the road alone—through collaboration, consultation, referrals, and a supportive professional community.
