I truly believe that all people want to and deserve to feel good and be happy. Much of our lives are spent trying to achieve these goals yet we continue to feel disappointed and like something is missing. I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships, difficulty with emotions, trauma, shame, or even a general sense of hopelessness or discontentment in life. My hope in therapy is to come alongside you and make sense of what you are feeling and/or experiencing while working toward healing and wholeness in yourself and your relationships.
I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples or any relationship in distress. In individual work, I utilize EFT, AEDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and/or Progressive Counting depending on the presenting issue(s). I am also trained in Trauma-Informed Yoga to integrate some body movement and breathing into our time together.
At the core of my practice is my relationship with Jesus and identity as a Christian. Implicitly this affects my whole being and everything about what I do. It does not mean that you have to be a Christian or that I will try to convert you if we work together. It simply means that I will be with you and care for your whole person as we work together.
