Every person has issues that they could use help dealing with at some point in their lives. Maybe the problem is depression, anxiety, self-esteem, or confidence. Maybe the problem is a mixture of many things or you might not even understand what the problem is or where it has come from. Whatever it may be we all want to work toward optimal functioning and well being but to do this we sometimes need assistance in working though issues of the mind or emotions. Things can get better and things can get clearer, even if it may not seem that way right now.

Life is an ever-evolving cycle; the difficulties encountered can seem overwhelming. Whether you are facing marital challenges, infidelity, or personal emotional struggles, it’s okay to seek support. Therapy is not just a remedy but a pathway to greater peace, stability, and understanding in life. Emotions like anxiety, frustration, anger, and sadness are natural; I offer a nurturing approach to help you navigate these and strengthen your relationships. I tailor my therapeutic methods to align with your unique needs with a comprehensive, holistic strategy that considers every facet of your life, ensuring the most beneficial support.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or behavioral deficits. I enjoy offering a safe place for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, and to provide support as people work towards their own therapeutic goals.

It takes courage to show up, to share yourself and be truly seen. It takes courage to heal and work through the obstacles in our lives. While taking the first step may open a floodgate of uncertainty, it is my intention to provide trust through transparency and an acceptance-based approach. Clear communication with established expectations removes the guess work and allows us to focus on our therapeutic relationship, which is built on trust, teamwork, and honesty.

I believe the problems that direct clients into counseling are emotional, physical, and spiritual. Therefore, the whole person must be addressed and treated as a unique and complex individual. As a Christian therapist, I help clients get to the root causes of their distress and assist them to find answers by using solution focused therapy. While some long-term therapy is a necessity I take pride in helping people set goals and objectives to find answers to their issues and struggles. Discover your hidden strengths and find an inner peace that brings stability amidst your storm.

Life is a journey that we all go through, and it presents us with many obstacles to navigate. Sometimes these obstacles can present us with challenges that can lead us to feel depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, withdrawn, or even isolated. When we learn to create balance in our life, we begin to feel a sense of joy and happiness for the person we are meant to be. I would like to partner with you as you explore life’s challenges and concerns and help you in identifying feelings and thought patterns and assist you in developing effective coping and self-care strategies that will strengthen your everyday life.
