I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
We all seek peace, happiness, love, and belonging. My passion is helping people connect in healthy ways and healing wounds that keep us stuck in old behaviors. I am committed to assisting you in becoming your best self. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment for self-exploration and personal growth. I view therapy as a collaborative journey that can help tune into your authentic self, develop attainable goals, and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. By holistically addressing and integrating mind, body and spirit, all kinds of challenges -- addictions, anxiety, depression, stress, relationships -- can be better understood and overcome.

Using a very present day focused, action-oriented style, I help people eliminate problematic anxiety (or panic) and repetitive cycles of depression.

Seeking help? Good for you.. and remember, there is nothing “wrong with you”. Like many, you have been faced with challenges that have overwhelmed your available resources. Each person has the capacity to function in a healthy way. I believe that emotional responses, especially stress, occur on a spectrum that can range from healthy to dysfunctional. My goal is to create an environment in which you can regard yourself positively while learning to work through helpful solutions.

Day by day life teaches us something new about ourselves and how we adjust to the obstacles that emerge in front of us. Overall wellness is often a process, one in which we may have the desire to pursue but lack the skillset to achieve. I strive to come along side of you in your pursuit to invest in yourself and mental wellbeing. Engaging in counseling services is an excellent way to deepen your self-awareness, and explore what you truly are capable of accomplishing in your life.

You’re tired of trying so hard and feeling like you just keep failing. You want to be a good wife, mom, and Christian. Yet, you constantly feel overwhelmed and are struggling to find the joy and peace it seems like you should have as a Christian. Instead, you’re finding yourself yelling at your family, melting down, and crying yourself to sleep. Sometimes it seems like you can’t stop crying. You often feel on edge and this feeling is becoming intolerable. You’ve been told you just need to pray and trust God more. You do pray and read the Bible and don’t understand why you still feel so sad and anxious.

How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
