My approach to psychotherapy is holistic and client centered. My goal is to meet clients where they’re at, work collaboratively, and create a safe space for healing. Therapy is about using human connection to grow, build coping strategies, and ultimately uncover resilience. If you have experienced trauma, a recent loss, struggle with anxiety, or are having relationship issues, I am so glad that you are reaching out for help. Change can happen quickly, especially if you’ve found a therapist that deeply cares and believes in your recovery. You are in the right place!

At one point or another, we as humans are sure to encounter some sort of struggle within our lifetime, and I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help. The benefits of reaching out for support can far outweigh the risk of trying to figuring it out, all on your own. Together, we can create a safe, nonjudgmental, and healthy working relationship that will allow for you to gain the courage to participate in the therapeutic process. From there, you will identify unhelpful thought patterns and related behaviors, and subsequently learn effective coping skills to help manage what it is that challenges you.

Life will be difficult at times and we do well to walk it together. Proverbs says, "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." What I offer is simply this; to walk with you - and/or your child - through whatever you're facing and help you see it through God's eyes as revealed in scripture. To clarify with proper perspective what has happened and what is happening now is helpful. What even better is knowing what we have to look forward to. "Gospel" means good news and I guarantee that there is great news for you. There's an abundant life promised to you by God Himself. If you want to be well, we should talk.

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapists

Who is ABA therapy for?

ABA therapy is most widely applied to teach basic behavioral, communication, and social skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disorders. It may also be used to help people undergoing rehabilitation following brain injury. It uses reward-based learning techniques to impart essential life skills. ABA is also used in the treatment of some other conditions. One is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , to help children overcome difficulties with concentration and controlling impulsive behaviors. For people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, it is sometimes used to help them overcome compulsive behavior. ABA therapy is also sometimes used in cases of PTSD, to help people turn to positive behaviours when they have experiences that trigger distressing memories.

Why do people need ABA?

Children with autism and other developmental disorders need ABA therapy as a way to learn how to communicate and engage with others, improve their general ability to function and lead fulfilling lives, and diminish dangerous behaviors. The techniques used in ABA therapy are based on established principles of learning, and positive reinforcement—supplying earned rewards—is an important strategy for motivating positive behaviour change.

What happens in ABA therapy?

The first thing that happens in ABA therapy is an evaluation of the child in service of developing a treatment plan. The therapist meets with the child’s parent(s) in order to learn about the family and the child, assesses the child’s behavior and ability level, and then creates a plan tailored to the specific needs of that person. Once the treatment goals are established, the skills to be learned are broken down into small, component steps. Treatment sessions focus on learning and practicing each step, and furnishing meaningful rewards as steps are learned, behaviors are spontaneously implemented, and goals are accomplished. ABA therapists also train caregivers and families so that behavioral progress occurs beyond the clinical setting.

What problems does ABA therapy treat?

One of the primary goals of ABA therapy is to decrease the outbursts and other nonproductive behaviors of children with autism. At the same time, ABA aims to remedy language deficits and help such children learn how to communicate successfully. ABA therapy helps children learn age-appropriate social skills and gain skills, such as attention and focus, that are necessary for school.
