Life’s trials have shaped my passion for helping others. Orphaned by 13 after losing my mother to HIV and my stepfather to murder, my faith in Christ guided me through these hardships. For 25 years, I've studied relationships, from a spiritual lens, and as a Christian marriage counselor, I focus on helping couples improve communication, from a Gospel-centered focus. Using evidence-based research and faith-based principles, I address mental health issues and imperfections. I empower individuals and couples to restore and enrich their relationships, navigate challenges, and achieve their God-given potential.

Overall, I believe that therapy is a place to learn and heal from current and past experiences. My primary goal as a counselor is to empower and provide skills to clients to help them flourish. I see children, adolescent, and adult populations, implementing an integrative approach, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. This means that I use many techniques and models, but I like to focus on current goals/solutions and altering unhelpful thinking patterns.

I am the biggest kid in the room, teenagers feel respected and heard, and adults know they are understood.
Finding the right therapist is sometimes difficult. Therapy starts with finding someone who matches your personality and developing a relationship with an individual that you can trust. I believe in learning about who you are, the complete picture, and helping you define and achieve the goals that are important to you. No judgment, just a safe place to work through things you would otherwise bottle up. I will challenge you to feel things, learn to choose better paths even when normally you might choose the same old thing that makes you feel stuck.

I help my clients live a more authentic life for themselves while also honoring their values and culture. My goal is to support you in gently peeling back the layers, navigating what life throws your way, and teaching you skills to manage all of the stress.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
