I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that each individual’s experiences, strengths, and challenges are uniquely their own. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe to explore growth at a pace that will be meaningful and impactful to you. I understand that the concerns people bring to therapy can evolve across different seasons of life, and I value walking alongside clients to help identify strategies that will be most effective for them.
My style is flexible and tailored to your needs. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, including Person-Centered Therapy, third wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modalities (DBT and ACT) , Family Systems theory, and Motivational Interviewing. I am able to provide individual, family and couples therapy.
For those who desire it, I also offer the option to thoughtfully integrate elements of faith into the therapeutic process, always guided by your personal beliefs and values.
I aim for clients to leave sessions feeling understood, encouraged, and better equipped to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and skills.
