I believe in a practical, integrative approach to counseling to help each person along their individual path. I want to help you find hope and joy instead of merely eliminating symptoms. I work with my clients to facilitate growth and change through transparency, empathy and nonjudgment, as well as through other evidence based practices, including EMDR.

My professional approach is integrative, trauma informed & collaborative but my personal style is real & relational!.
What is it you want to FIX? Where are you STUCK? What is it you don’t KNOW? Are you questioning your relationships, health, life satisfaction, or accomplishments? If you look "together" on the outside but feel different on the inside, you're not alone! Our culture demands we try to have it all, fit in, & focus on the positive. Yet guilt, self-doubt, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, & feeling not good enough is SO common. Performing, producing, perfectionism, & people pleasing is SO exhausting. When this no longer works for you, it's time for a different approach. We'll work from the inside for your RESET!

I strive to provide a warm environment to explore issues and empower personal growth through a Christian perspective and integrative approach based on individual needs.
Are you or your loved ones struggling with emotional pain, past hurts, current events, or behaviors that interfere with daily life? Is it time for change? Imagine overcoming these challenges and finding that calm, inner peace. Sometimes you just need to talk to process your thoughts and emotions. Let’ explore the barriers that impair one’s ability to move forward or make changes. I have many years of experience working with children, teens, parents, and adults in both the school setting and in therapy concerning low self-worth, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, life adjustments, and behavior.

My practice offers an integrative healthcare team including family and psychiatric medical providers as well as a physical therapist.
Have you ever felt like no matter what you do you just cannot get to a place of peace? Often, the hardest part of managing mental health is learning to live after you survived whatever caused pain in the first place. It's easier to expect the worst than hope for the best when you've been through trauma. I'm here to help my people identify self-limiting beliefs and unwanted behavior. We find the root of the problem, and begin to re-process negative belief systems then replace those with healthier views. It may seem impossible, but with the right approach I believe everyone can find joy.

Integrative Therapists

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.

How does integrative therapy work?

Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behavior patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.

How long does integrative therapy last?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.

How effective is integrative therapy?

There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
