Feeling tired, anxious, angry, lonely, or stuck in the same old patterns of life? As a licensed psychologist, I take great pride in helping clients break free from these cycles leading to a truly enhanced quality of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, suppressed anger, low self-esteem, depression, and recurring relationship concerns that often lead to shame, anger, and fear. My expertise extends to addressing career stress and difficulties fostering healthy romantic relationships. I operate from a Jungian, Psychodynamic and Cognitive behavioral lens with Christian faith and Evidence-Based Practice as the foundation of my work.
Initial sessions begin with identifying maladaptive patterns that keep you stuck. As you gain insight and awareness into the underlying causes of your concerns, the process of gradual change begins. We will collaboratively engage in shadow work and acheive adaptive coping strategies leading to fulfillment and a renewed purpose in life beyond expectations.
I would love to walk with you through the ups and downs of the challenges you're facing! By integrating faith and psychology, I can help you flourish in all aspects of your life. Whether you're ready to dive in headfirst to address your concerns or are still hesitant with questions I would love to chat with you, so please don't hesitate to reach out!

I use Attachment-Oriented Psychodynamic Therapy and CBT, which means that I value our relationship as it helps us understand your unique ways of relating to others. Using CBT helps us see how your thoughts might be affecting your feelings and experiences. During therapy, I will help you learn to push back against patterns that hold you back and empower you to change your life for the better.
