I believe that counseling is a process whereby a client voluntarily seeks to resolve interpersonal, emotional, and/or spiritual difficulties with the assistance of another caring individual. I will seek to empower you to make changes for the betterment of your life through a wellness model. I will do my best to offer you the highest ethical standards of care, to listen empathically to you, to persist in hope, to believe in your restoration, and to avoid all forms of judgement. My goal is for you to develop fresh perspectives, to bolster your self confidence in your existing capabilities, and to form a feasible plan of action.
I aim to build a safe environment where clients can explore biological, psychological, social, and spiritual considerations. I employ cognitive behavioral, person-centered, individual psychology, and emotionally focused therapy toward personal concerns, relational challenges, adjustment transitions, spiritual development, trauma, and the pursuit of wellness.
I understand that pursuing counseling is a step of courage and I applaud your consideration. I invite you to explore if partnership within a therapeutic relationship will benefit your unique situation.

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy. We will discuss how your thoughts affect your emotions and lived experience. While in treatment, we will learn how to manage cognitions to positively impact your feelings and behavior. My worldview comes through a Christian perspective. If you desire to integrate faith into our sessions, I am happy to do so under the direction that you see fit.
