Ready for change but unsure where to start? Whether you are new to therapy or are jumping back into it after a break, I can help you make sense of your emotions, behaviors, and thoughts and find a new sense of peace. I provide therapy to adolescents (10+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and the effects of trauma. My typical client's goals include learning coping skills, relationship skills, and processing unresolved feelings. As a therapist, I provide evidence-based and client-centered counseling.
I utilize therapy models such as IFS (Internal Family Systems), AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), expressive art therapy, and person-centered therapy to meet you where you are. I offer Christian-based counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith in their healing journey upon request.
Opening up about yourself can be difficult; that is why I let you set the pace on your healing journey. Finding the right counselor for you is important. I offer my humor, authenticity, hope, and knowledge to each client. Wherever you are, I am looking forward to being apart of your journey and helping you gain a better sense of self.

I use Parts work (IFS) in my practice to help you understand the internal messages that you have adopted. By gaining insight into your thoughts, emotions, and actions you will learn ways to better understand yourself and to use your strengths to your advantage. During treatment, I'll offer an empathetic ear and help you develop healthy coping skills.
