I utilize attachment theory, emotional focused therapy, and family systems theory, to help guide the therapeutic process.
Counseling is a deeply personal process, and it is a courageous step to engage those areas in your life that are asking for your presence. I am a Christian counselor who believes that every individual was created to be known, pursued, and cared for. I seek to support each individual by creating a safe space for the authentic self to thrive. Throughout the process, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and supportive approach as we navigate a path toward wholeness.

Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck, having tried "regular" talk therapy and looking for something, a modality or a therapist to help them move past old patterns of relating and triggers. These old patterns and triggers left unaddressed can easily feel like they are taking over your life! Together, with your permission, we will dive deeply into your story and uncover patterns of relating that have been preventing you from the life you want to live.

Experiences. They create meaning, create beliefs, create rules, created your views of self and other. Your lived experiences influence the choices you make, how you show up in your relationships, and how you interact with the world. Experiences can leave you exhausted, depleted, and void of hope. Like a wave that crashes over you, pulling you under, tumbling and tossing you beneath its power, leaving you frantic for the way up, searching for that breath of hope.

I consider the counseling relationship to be a partnership in which one seeks an understanding of the problems that are affecting one's life and learns of strategies that will help alleviate them. Problems are manifested in anxiety, depression, or other stress-related problems such as sleeplessness, tension and the inability to enjoy life, family or activities. ALL are attempts to cope with problems. Since this partnership is based on trust and mutual respect, it is important that the client meet a professional who can best address those problems, and has the experience to know when and how to implement changes.

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.
