I am interested in working with individuals, couples, and families and a wide range of issues including: anxiety, relationship stressors, communication issues, family cut-offs, and infidelity.
The importance of relationships cannot be overstated. We are surrounded by our relationships with friends, family, coworkers, and romantic partners. These relationships often bring great satisfaction into our lives but can also be a source of stress and uncertainty. I believe that therapy can be used to explore ourselves and determine what we want out of life. Examining the patterns and cycles that have prevented us from reaching our goals and full potential is essential to making change for the better. I strive to create an environment in which you feel supported and secure to explore your authentic self without judgment.

I use a combination of modalities, such as Internal Family Systems Theory, Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
The L.E.A.D. therapeutic approach is based on four components: Love, Empathy, Awareness, and Direction. This is the foundation of my practice and how I engage with people to cultivate permanent changes in their lives. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my calling is to facilitate change through loving people as Jesus did, sitting with people in their pain and confusion, cultivating awareness and supporting Godly direction.

While I enjoy spending time in nature, my ideal days off are spent in my backyard with my dogs and my family.
I have a deep passion for community development, culture diversity and human connection. In my experience my clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own best resource when it comes to choosing the right treatment for them. I see our time together as a joint venture, our knowledge combined creates the solutions and tools needed to uncover patterns and emotions they may not even be aware of. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual. My role as a therapist is to support you to make choices that empower you, and help you explore and resolve your current predicaments, or diagnosis.

I utilize a systems approach to therapy, using my training in Structural Family Therapy, Relational therapy, Internal Family Systems, trauma model, and other modalities.
You are unique in all the world! There is no one just like you with your story or life. Your family, pets, friends, community--where you came from--what you have overcome and endured-all these make you the unique person you are. At some time you may wish to turn the page on your story. My therapy involves walking with you while you decide where you want to go from here--who the person is that you want to be--how you want your life and story to change. I will listen and challenge, support and invite you to learn new skills and growth.
