Hi, I appreciate you taking the time and considering me to be part of your journey. Finding the right therapist can feel like an overwhelming task. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and families who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, self-esteem, or life’s everyday struggles. I utilize evidenced-based theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution Focused modalities, and a strength-based approach to help my clients create and achieve their goals.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been providing mental health counseling since 2018. Over the years I have become trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, these combined modalities have helped me empower my clients to overcome anxiety disorders, depression, interpersonal conflicts, and past traumas. In this therapy, we will embark on a journey of healing and recovery by building on your innate resiliency to overcome obstacles and create a life worth living in the present.

We are so excited you are considering us as your psychotherapy treatment provider! Our main goal is to provide care that treats the whole self in a safe environment without judgment. We are here to help. Please visit our website for more information.

Feeling anxious? Does life seem harder than it should be? Is trauma impacting your life and your relationships? Need support breaking away from toxic people, narcissists, and unhealthy relationships? Need help breaking free from controlling thoughts, memories from childhood abuse, and/or lack of nurture? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you are in the right place. Therapy can help. You don’t have to be alone and you do not have to be stuck where you are.

I work with individuals and couples seeking positive changes and healing in their life. This includes addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. I help clients who are overwhelmed by distressing emotions, feeling trapped, and experiencing conflicts internally and in relationships. I support, guide, and educate clients, and help them find relief, joy, and purpose in living. Together, we work to build awareness and emotional resilience. Clients develop tangible coping skills while assessing their values and learning to care for what is most important, with renewed interest and appreciation.

I empower my clients to identify and amplify the strengths within themselves and their world that they may have lost touch with or perhaps have not yet discovered. In our sessions together, you'll experience a healthy balance of acceptance and empathy paired with therapeutic challenges towards growth. I like to collaborate with my clients so that their treatment is individualized to their unique goals, culture, and strengths. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solutions focused therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and Christian spiritual integration for clients seeking faith based therapy.

Imagine an opportunity to be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled, even in a world of uncertainty. You don’t have to wait for things to change to feel good about life again.

I will guide you to improve your self- esteem, manage mental health symptoms more effectively, and find deeper meaning and purpose in your life. You can reconnect with what really matters and to let go of what is holding you back.

I believe that counseling can excel healing and instill hope in your life. I see individuals that are longing for a better quality of life but unsure of how to get there. My goal is to hold the hope while you do the brave work of coping and healing.
