I believe our relationships and experiences shape the way we are. Therapy is a great way to reflect, process, and grow into the versions of ourselves for which we strive. I love creating safe spaces for clients to explore tough moments and be able to identify and regulate emotions coming up for them. I enjoy working with individuals and couples struggling to navigate through relational issues, whether romantic, familial, friendships, or parenting. In working with couples, I specialize in working with those who are feeling stuck or disconnected in their relationship, and those who are struggling to resolve conflict.
I have extensive experience incorporating spiritual integration, especially with Christian couples and individuals. I have experience working with individuals who are struggling through life transitions; communication and conflict resolution; anxiety; depression; career changes; burnout; and struggling to identify, process, and communicate emotions.
When you are in a session with me, I strive to create a compassionate, client-centered space. I have a direct and interactive approach that focuses on your goals while prioritizing tools to help continue work outside of sessions and diving into deeper emotions within sessions. I find the most impactful moments in therapy are when we sit in the emotions.
