I specialize in Christian therapy and integrating Biblical principles with psychological interventions. This psycho-social-spiritual approach addresses the whole person and helps with a variety of mental health issues.

When my partner and I started therapy, our relationship was very rocky. We ended up getting pregnant, which wasn’t planned, at a very young age (18 and 19). Starting therapy saved our relationship and has been helping us navigate being so young with a great responsibility and the responsibility to each other. Our relationship has grown so much in just the past four months that it’s hard to believe how rocky we used to be. Pamela Rice is an extremely talented therapist and you couldn’t ask for a better one. Both my partner and I have had separate therapists and they can’t even compare.
