I help clients find their freedom. I believe that there is hope in every situation and I am skilled in working with client's who have a hard time believing that they can overcome. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, communication, and relationships. As a Christian therapist I believe in a holistic approach to treatment and focus on the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of a client.
I specialize in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Dialectical Behavior Techniques, Narrative techniques to identify problematic thoughts and language which leads to alternative moods and alternative behaviors.
Life can definitely be hard and overwhelming, but with some education and support, battles can be won and goals can be achieved. If you feel like you just need a little hope or you feel like you can't remain in the state you are in any longer, reach out and call.
