For many people, faith is an integral part of their sense of wholeness and important when seeking help and healing. For clients who feel that way, I integrate faith and biblical truths into the experience of psychotherapy. Difficulties with relationships, depression, anxiety, life transitions, illness, a history of trauma or grief are some of the things that can bring people into counseling. But regardless the struggle, the integration of scientifically evidence-based practices alongside faith belief systems offer a holistic approach to therapy that many clients appreciate.

Not accepting new clients
The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.
