Each person’s life is like a book, filled with stories, chapters, and turning points unique to them. Sometimes we get stuck in a difficult chapter, or it feels like we’ve lost our place altogether. You may be facing stress, anxiety, burnout, or relationship struggles that make the story feel overwhelming. I work with individuals ages 10 and up, couples, and families navigating these challenges. You are the author of your story, and therapy is a place to reclaim the pen. I honor your identity, autonomy, and resilience, and together we can begin shaping the next chapter with clarity and hope reflective of your goals.

I have training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and anxiety treatment, and I am a big proponent of mindfulness.
My clients come to me saying "I am so overwhelmed all the time", "I don't know why these feelings keep coming up", "there is just so much going on right now and I don't even know where to start". If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or unsure how to move forward. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where you can sort through these challenges, gain clarity, and build tools that truly fit your life.

It can be hard to go through life feeling not good enough, overwhelmed, worried, or alone. Maybe you're stuck continually trying to fix what you're feeling, only to be met with disappointment again and again. I have experienced first-hand how these feelings can become a cycle resulting in not getting to live life to the fullest. I know how scary it can be to face what you're feeling and deal with how heavy life is. That's why I'm passionate about helping others take on that fear and find relief. I am an advocate for looking within yourself and addressing the stuck, scary parts in a safe place with the support you deserve.

I have worked with both adults, couples and teens and have a vast comprehension of mental health diagnoses and utilize CBT and DBT therapies to assist in developing coping strategies.
I have been in the mental health field for the last 9 years in mostly secular roles where I have to tone down my spiritual beliefs. I have since stepped out in faith to start my own Christian Counseling Ministry because I believe that there are many Christians that struggle with their own mental health but don't seek help out of fear of what the church may think. I believe there is some disconnect with how the church conveys mental health and I hope to be that bridge. I started this ministry two years ago as an effort to utilize my own faith in what I love to do which is help individuals find peace in their mental health.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.

Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.

What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
