Are you living your best life and achieving your personal goals? Or are you facing challenges in your marriage, experiencing significant life changes, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties? My mission is to support you in living your life to the fullest. Don’t let addictive behaviors prevent you from enjoying a fulfilling life. If you are grieving a loss and need support, or if parenting conflicts and chaotic family dynamics are disrupting your lifestyle, I am here to help.
I provide exceptional listening skills and a non-judgmental space to help you navigate your challenges. Using a holistic approach that combines systemic, cognitive, narrative, and biblical methods, I assist clients in exploring their strengths, reshaping their stories, and embracing a more purposeful life. Our practice is fully remote, ensuring flexibility.
I am eager to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds, ready to embark on a transformative therapeutic journey. My unwavering passion is to assist clients in achieving a fulfilled and meaningful life. Under the supervision of a fully licensed LMFT (Cheryl, Williams, 111507), we welcome couples, families, and individuals from diverse-backgrounds.

I work with couples who are having difficulty with anxiety related to relationship issues in their marital life. We will dig into the underlying concerns during the sessions and collaborate with clients to re-author their stories. Changes notably do occur within the 3rd session, and more progress is made in the long run.

I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to explore distorted thoughts that interfere with the client's way of life. I sometimes use Narrative therapy because I believe in externalizing the problem. I also use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to explore irrational thoughts. However, in your first session, we'll explore your needs and decide which model to support you.
