Have you reached your breaking point and wondered if a change is possible? I am a licensed therapist who can help you restore hope. My clients receive unwavering support and tools to transcend challenging emotions, see new perspectives, and work through debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and the emotionally pervasive effects of trauma. I strive to build a trusting and empathic relationship with my clients as we delve into complex issues. I firmly believe that transformation is possible after exploring the past and present strongholds that hinder the ability to lead a more fulfilled life.
My approach is client-centered and targets the wellness of the mind and body. I utilize IFS (parts work), cognitive-behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, expressive arts, and, if desired, faith-centered issues. My clients find that introspection mixed with creative expression provides a highly unique healing experience.
Reaching out may feel like a big step! I welcome you into a safe, affirming healing space to meet you where you stand in your journey toward enrichment and vitality. Come as you are when you feel ready to take that step forward!
