It’s completely normal to feel uncertain, angry, frustrated, or stuck at times and sometimes we need someone to acknowledge that. Our past experiences shape how we show up in the world and interact with others. I offer coping strategies to help you regulate emotions, rebuild trust, manage anxiety, resolve conflicts, and address unmet needs, ultimately creating a foundation for healthy, secure relationships. My own personal growth journey has deepened my ability to guide others in developing emotional and spiritual awareness, fostering a new path of vulnerability and openness. I am happy to support the changes you seek to make!
I work largely with couples with conflict in addition to my work with individuals and families navigating life stressors and transitions. I specialize in working with racial identity, friendship transitions, intergenerational trauma amongst several other issues. I also offer Christian-based counseling for those who prefer their faith be informed by therapy.
Some people find that therapy is helpful at different points in their life. Are you navigating a difficult moment in your life? Are you ready to unpack the past in order to be more present now? Are you tired of healing alone? Request an appointment with me and let's work towards healing together!
