I desire to help people who are hurting and looking for relief, change, and hope. Perhaps you're looking at life right now and it looks bleak, but you don't know what's wrong and much less how to fix it. Maybe you know exactly what your problem is, but you don’t know what to do about it. Or maybe you just need an unbiased ear to sit with you, listen to you, and walk through the struggle with you as we work together to find a solution. Regardless of your situation, I would love to help.
I am a Provisional Licensed Counselor under the direct supervision of Dr. Ashley Jameson. I have been trained in a wide variety of therapies including EMDR, CBT, Brief Solution focused, & more. I am certified in PreparedEnrich to work with marital/premarital issues. I work with couples, families, & adults dealing with sexual addiction, trauma, and more.
I can't promise that this journey will be easy, but I can promise you that I will walk through it with you. Life is full of ups and downs, and some seasons bring more downs than others. If you are in a low season, I would be honored to get into the trenches of life with you and assist you in finding ways to make it through the tough times. You are not alone.
