I am committed to affirming your strengths while challenging you to build capacity as you navigate life's challenges. Through integration of approaches such as solution focused therapy, DBT, CBT, Somatic exercises and the Christian faith, I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone has the resilience and inner resources needed to navigate change—and that, with the right support, you can flourish. It is a privilege to walk with you through this journey of change, growth and healing.
I use a blend of evidence-based modalities tailored to your unique needs: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Helping you identify and amplify what’s already working in your life. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): Challenging unhelpful thoughts, building healthier thinking patterns. Cultural & Spiritual Sensitivity: Christian faith-based services.
Life can be a challenge; I will hold a safe space for you, offer you empathy, grace and compassion as you journey toward a better version of you.
