Relationships--and life!--can be hard to navigate. Sometimes, you may feel lonely, down, or stuck in a life that you don't even recognize anymore. You may need a space to explore possibilities for change and someone to listen and offer hope. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are seeking to improve their lives. You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns that aren't working for you or your relationship, or in anxiety or depression that keep you from really living. Therapy can empower you and give you the tools you need to find the happiness, peace, and freedom you desire.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I help individuals with anxiety or depression take back control of their lives. A racing mind full of worry or sadness has no place in your life. Working with couples, I help them learn to communicate better, resolve conflicts, and restore trust, and enjoy their relationship again. This is my greatest joy.
Faith can sometimes be overlooked in this field, but I believe it can enrich therapy for clients who want to incorporate that aspect of their lives. This practice exists to fulfill Hebrews 12:15 “See to it that no one misses the grace of God.” God’s grace and compassion are never-ending, and my hope is that you find those here.
