Brokenhearted. Misunderstood. Overwhelmed. Ashamed. Alone. There are times in our lives when these words describe the heaviness in our hearts. Whether it is the exhaustion of navigating difficult relationships, being consumed by painful memories, or carrying a burden inside that you are afraid to share or let go of, I believe that healing is ultimately found in genuine connection with God, yourself, and others. I would be honored to walk alongside you in this process. I use an eclectic mix of therapies, including IFS, trauma-informed, somatic techniques, CBT/DBT, and am currently working toward completion of EMDR Basic Training.
I also draw ideas from Art, Sandtray, & Play therapies. While my specialty is in providing services through a Christ-centered lens, clients of other backgrounds are also cherished and welcome. Together, we can create a treatment plan that works for you.
In therapy, we can explore your mental, spiritual, sensory, and emotional experiences that weave together who you are as a person, all of which are seen by the God who loves you. If you are searching for solace and healing in a non-judgmental space, I would love to be a part of your journey.
