I use a client-centered, systemic, and collaborative approach, of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and the Bowen Intergenerational model to achieve client goals.
I am a mental health therapist and relationship specialist with over twenty years of experience in counseling, mentoring, and Christian counseling. As a therapist, I believe in living life purposefully but also understand that mental and emotional distress can be a barrier to healthy living. I work with individuals, couples, and families who need emotional support and practical tools to navigate challenges that create emotional distress and dysfunction in their personal, relational, and professional relationships.

The modalities I use more commonly include CBT, MBCT, person-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, family systems, and relaxation methods.
There are many reasons why you may decide to begin therapy. The important thing is taking the first step toward an opportunity for you to discover ways of building new skills and gaining new knowledge to help you experience life in a more fulfilling way. My goal is to help you build skills to increase self awareness and self acceptance resulting in feeling empowered to reach your goals and improving your sense of well-being. I have worked with clients from children to adults in schools, clinics, and private settings. I believe in providing support in a peaceful and accepting atmosphere.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
