I am a Clinical Pastoral Counselor who practices in Portland (Tigard), Oregon. I am a licensed professional counselor with counseling credentials from Loyola University, Baltimore, in 2009, and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision from Liberty University in 2022. 

Pastoral counseling is a holistic approach, which integrates spirituality into the healing process of psychotherapy. In practice, pastoral counseling can help to address and solve a variety of mental health problems including depression, anxiety, and more.

I am motivated by God’s Call on my life to be an instrument of His healing for those who suffer from spiritual and emotional pain. Jesus was the Great Teacher and He modeled what it means to deeply listen and to tell stories that resonate with people. "When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching" (New International Version, 1973/2011, Matthew 7:28). He spoke with authority and was a master at asking questions. My faith in God inspires me to be more like Him in all my life's work.

​I work closely with my clients to provide professional pastoral counseling services across a wide variety of mental health issues and other major life concerns. I uphold to the highest standards in regards to respecting each client’s personal beliefs, values, and privacy for all matters. I respect clients' wishes regarding spirituality in client sessions.
