I began Brighter Day Counseling Services as a way to truly connect with each individual and help personalize treatment specifically to their unique needs and situation. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 23 years and enjoy the work I do. I enjoy meeting new individuals from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and provide a non-judgmental space for all. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and supportive. My approach is evidence-based and always specifically tailored to the individual.

Treatment Approach
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship—one built on trust, respect, and genuine understanding. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to explore their experiences openly.
Treatment is tailored to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and insight-oriented work to address both immediate concerns and underlying patterns. Together, we identify practical tools for coping while also developing deeper self-awareness and long-term resilience.
I view therapy as an active process. Clients are encouraged to participate in goal-setting, skill-building, and reflection between sessions to support growth beyond the therapy room. My role is to guide, support, and challenge when appropriate—helping you move toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and meaningful, lasting change.
