About Us

Individuals – We all need someone who will listen to us without judgement, help us understand ourselves better, and help us find the courage to change the things we don’t like in our lives. I feel honored to be that “someone” in my client’s lives.

Couples – I help Christian couples find hope, safe communication, and intimate connection. I help the couple slow down their negative communication cycle, communicate more effectively, and find intimate connection. I also encourage with Scripture. Couples not only avoid a financially and emotionally costly divorce, they are able to communicate more effectively and realize they are ____ (you fill in blank) enough for each other. They experience God’s love and grace in their relationship. The feelings of despair, anxiety, depression, and anger are replaced with a great sense of hope, peace, and joy .

Families –  I help families resolve life changing transitions, parenting concerns, blended family concerns, and extended family conflicts. For families affected by separation, divorce, or remarriage I strive to help each family member grieve their loss and learn to thrive in their new environment. I help parent’s forge a new working relationship for their children’s well-being.  The loss of family stability and security have a profound effect on children and contribute to a loss of a healthy identity, low self-esteem, fear, guilt, and shame.

Groups – Group therapy is offered to address specific topics  including:

1. • Premarital Workshop -Classes offered in eight weekly individual sessions or one Saturday Group Workshop (2nd Saturday each month).  Individual sessions are recommended for blending families.We use a research supported program, Prepare-Enrich, to help prepare the foundation for your marriage. We begin with an online assessment that helps give a picture of your relationship’s strengths and areas of growth. The workbook is designed to aid in the discussion of the main marital concerns most couples have including:
     • communication
     • conflict resolution
     • partner styles and habits
     • financial managment
     • leisure activities
     • sexuality and affection
     • children and parenting
     • family and friends
     • relationship roles
     • spiritual beliefs.

     Addressing these topics in the beginning of your relationship will help take some of the guess work out of the relationship and help you prepare for “then comes”. We look forward to helping you get your marriage off to a fantastic start!

   • Forgiveness & Reconciliation – based on “Steps to REACH Forgiveness and to Reconcile”  (2008) by Everett L. Worthington Jr.  This group is 6 to 10 weeks long with up to 8 members. We walk through the “REACH” method of forgiving and when safe “The Bridge to Reconciliation”.
   • Be Transformed – based on ”Be Transformed: Discovering Biblical Solutions to Life’s Problems” (2012) by  Renee Roberts & Scope Staff Members.  This group is 12 weeks long with up to 8 members. We discover the root of our problems, based on Scripture. As we renew our minds, we discover who we are in Christ and who Father God really is. We learn why we still sin despite our best efforts to be a “good Christian”.  We find our worth and value in who we are, not what we do.
   • Parents of Dependent Adult Children – this group covers the issues specific to group member experience. Group size and length will be determined by group member participation and need.
