My professional experience has been working with adolescents, college students, adults, working on various issues, and wanting someone to help them in the journey. No one lives life without going through something that makes them question whether they can work through it on their own. This is the very place God has for us to come to him and his strength. I have personally experienced a few of these, and have been given a calling for helping others in theirs. My practice aims to shine light on the purpose we have on this earth, and walking with you to uncover the roots of why you struggle.

My therapeutic approach is insight-oriented and integrates elements of psychoanalysis with narrative therapy and CBT to address the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Many of us have endured experiences that leave us feeling misunderstood or defeated. The pain we experience can lead to an overall sense of disconnectedness from others and from our very selves. There is great power in sharing our stories within an environment of empathy and safety, where we can be curious together about how the past has impacted the present. To feel understood can be the first pathway to healing.

It takes bravery to decide to change a narrative, and I deeply admire people who take the bold step to see a therapist.
Are you stuck with in a narrative you didn't count on? It may be causing emotional or physical pain, weariness and hopelessness. But narratives are only one piece of a person's overall story.

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives.

Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

Rooted in attachment science, I love integrating various therapeutic approaches (EFT, ACT, IFS, CBT, & Narrative) depending on what each client needs.
Life can be incredibly painful. We can find ourselves feeling stuck, confused, lonely, anxious, despairing, or lost. We want to make sense of our past & present circumstances, map out a path forward, all in a way that feels true to our values and honors the pain we experience. My clients often struggle with issues like depression & anxiety, grief & loss, trauma & abuse, identity & meaning formation, sexuality & pornography, spiritual distress & relationship strife. Whether highly motivated or exhausted and on the verge of giving up, I am honored to meet each client where they are and walk with them step by step toward change.

Through the integration of treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and strengths-based perspective, I am able to assist individuals with identifying their own strengths and intrinsic motivation to continue overcoming and managing stressors that contribute to their mental health.
Are you struggling with managing anxiety, depression, stress, or major transitions in your life? As a therapist, I’m extremely passionate about meeting individuals where they are and providing a person-centered approach that allows the client to be the expert of their own treatment. I like to take a collaborative approach as I truly believe that you are the only person who has overcome your experiences and understands how they have impacted you. Therefore, you are the only person who can be the storyteller of your own resilience.

Life can be hard and just "raggedy" at times. I know and I get it. For some, reaching out for help is the last thing you may want to do but I would love to walk with you on your journey to healing. Would you believe me if I told you that the answers you are seeking are already within you? I will merely be your guide and safe place to allow you to discover these answers. There is so much more in store for you versus the current narrative you have been rehearsing to yourself.

During sessions, I integrate narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy, blending the two to explore your unique narrative, the events that have shaped you, and how these experiences influence your current reality.
I love helping individuals navigate relational dynamics, process difficult emotions, foster growth in communication, strengthen boundary setting skills, and grow in self-awareness across various spheres of life (romantic partners, family members, friends, or coworkers). I also enjoy helping people grow in self compassion and validation so they can access kindness and patience toward themselves on the healing journey. My experience is primarily with young adults.

I offer a person-centered and narrative approach to therapy to help clients learn to relate better while applying tactical skills based on CSAT tasks and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills.
I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
