Clients work with me to find the person hidden behind the protective walls they have built up to feel safe. They need, and want, to feel close to family and friends again but are scared it might not work out in their favor. Their goals are often to love themselves, speak up for themselves, and know they are capable no matter how hard life may be in this season. My clients want to let the past be the past and have their future go the way they've envisioned for so long.

The main characteristic that helps my clients benefit most is the willingness to look honestly and deeply inside themselves and examine their own hearts and stories. This requires authenticity, honesty, and strength as this is often uncomfortable. My clients that benefit most are those that are willing to lean into this discomfort to recognize the areas of unhealth in their hearts, minds, and relationships, and to work towards the change and transformation and abundant life that God calls us all towards.

Taking the first step to find a therapist can be difficult. You may not know exactly what you are looking for- just that you feel stuck and in need of support. I'm here to help you identify and overcome barriers that are getting in the way of the life you want-relationship to self and others, job, community, and family. My goal is to help you know and love yourself fully. You are FULLY accepted here. No matter what stage of life's journey you are in, - I'm here for you.

My therapeutic method involves a person-centered approach, which empowers the client to reach their potential through self-awareness, acceptance, and openness. As a therapist my role is to assist clients in recognizing options, problem-solving, developing healthy relationships and encouraging them to discover and build on their personal strengths. Some additional theories I utilize in therapy include Family systems therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gottman’s couple therapy.

I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who struggle with body image distress, disordered eating, and substance abuse/misuse. Individuals who suffer from disordered eating and addiction tend to also experience high levels of shame, self-criticism, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, and history of trauma which all perpetuate the illness. Addiction and eating disorders are not disorders of lacking control, but disorders of unmet needs.
