(Avoid pronouns, use my first name)
Certified Clinical Social Worker (CSW)
Christian based counseling for those struggling with depression, bipolar, and anxiety. Military/Vets, Farm/Agricultural friendly.
Hey there! As a committed Christ follower, I bring faith into practice and everyday life. As a Clinical Social Worker, I understand that faith can be a big part of one’s life and that there are those who don’t have a faith practice. No matter your personal beliefs, we can discuss your situations from a biblical perspective or a non-faith perspective.
