Everyone has strengths and vulnerabilities that need to be empathically recognized and understood for there to be realistic change. My job is to create a safe place where individuals and couples explore their current or long standing problems in order to find realistic solutions. A significant part of this involves carefully and mutually developing an appreciation of people's actual qualities and circumstances. I work with people in crisis or who sense they have patterns of living that could benefit from a clear understanding and want an expert and experienced partner to help facilitate their desired change.

If you are an IFS manager part who learned that being helpful perfect and agreeable was the way to survive you are not broken. Your nervous system adapted brilliantly and it is tired.

Do you feel discouraged at feeling unfulfilled, down, or lonely as a Christian? Do you feel a lack of a sense of belonging even when you are a part of a church community? What role does therapy play in the life of a Christian? A healthy supportive church community does offer much of what helps a believer flourish in Christ. However, living in this fallen world, we all have our fair share of trauma and grief, from our family, friends, and church, and many of our needs are beyond what our support community today can meet. This is where therapy or coaching with me could come in.
