If you find yourself wrestling with depression, anxiety, habits you'd like to leave behind, relationship issues, or anything in between I want to help you break the cycles that keep you stuck. Together we will focus on more than symptom alleviation, but gaining insight into the beliefs, behavioral patterns, and relational history that informs and influences what you do and what you believe about yourself.

We may not like to admit it, but sometimes we just need help in sorting out our thoughts, feelings, relationships, and problems. Hey, if you could have "fixed" yourself on your own, you wouldn't be here looking for a therapist! With more than twenty years of experience as a pastor to complement my practice of therapy, I have seen how individuals of all ages, couples of all types, and families of all shapes and sizes both endure and solve problems, as well as how just a little effort can go a long way. The important thing for you to know is that there's nothing inherently wrong with you; you just need a little help working it out.

Living your life in overwhelm. Exhausted and having to work at a toxic work place. Insecure about bills. Trying desperately to navigate relationships, transitions and being a new parent. Subsisting in demanding and frightening times, all while attempting to be an independent adult. It is no wonder you are depleted, frustrated, and heart broken.

My primary therapeutic approach is Person-Centered, which is based on the notion that clients have a capacity for self-awareness. I believe that clients are capable of healing themselves, can create their own self-growth, & are their own change agents. I consider counseling to be a collaborative process with both the counselor and client. I align with taking an integrative approach because I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach. In addition to person-centered, I utilize techniques from CBT. Every client has a different narrative and, therefore, should have a unique approach to each scenario.
