Remember the saying," Two heads are better than one?" I believe counseling should be collaborative. Both counselor and client bring knowledge and experience to the table. Together we can go over what strategies have not worked and implement new ones. Many life problems are complex, having biological, psychological, and/or social factors, but all are spiritually implicated in some way. My Christ-centered approach emphasizes Biblical renewing of the mind and spiritual growth, in addition to practical, proven strategies to help you overcome. I will support and care for you, strive to restore hope, and walk with you on your journey!

I believe therapy is most effective when there is a relationship between therapist and client that is genuine and trusting. I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing or have experienced complex trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, relational difficulties, and spiritual/religious confusion and oppression. I don’t posit to know all the answers. Instead, I strive to partner with you in exploring what healing and growth look like today. I love what I do and the opportunity to really get to know people (like you!).

Sometimes we can find ourselves just surviving- moving through our daily tasks and engaging with others while on autopilot. Much like zoning out while driving, coming to and wondering where the last ten miles or thirty minutes went, we can “come to" and find ourselves behaving toward ourselves and others in automatic, disconnected, and even reactive ways. We all want and need to feel seen and heard. I hope to provide a space to be seen and heard without judgement. .
