Hi there! As a therapist, I have an empathetic and direct communication style. I will listen thoughtfully and approach you with curiosity as you share who you are with me. I use talk therapy and art therapy techniques to visualize and process past experiences. I strive to remain steadfast in grace, truth, and compassion as we develop our shared understanding of your past and present. I will gently challenge harmful thinking/patterns and offer support as we process painful emotions and experiences. I also provide a Christian faith-based, Biblical approach to those who want to include that perspective in our process.

We all experience anxiety, depression and interpersonal stress at one time or another. Often, we are able to cope with these experiences on our own or with help from our loved ones. When our pain persists despite our best efforts, we turn to someone with training and experience for help. Research and tradition teach us that sharing our painful experiences within the context of a supportive and focused therapeutic relationship can help us cope with and even overcome our emotional pain. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have dedicated my academic and professional activities to helping others get better.
