When mental health feels unwell, we can feel it in many ways - tension in relationships, inability to rest, less confidence, work stress, and so many more. Life is challenging and any number of things can impact us. Anxiety, life transitions, parenting, grief, and relationship challenges can all feel heavy. Therapy can be a space where you slow down and sort through what's been weighing on you. I believe growth and healing happen when we feel safe enough to be vulnerable. Expect to be met with warmth and humor in a judgement free space while we work to explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I work with youth adults and adults, using a down to earth approach. I often use evidenced based and creative techniques, such as person centered therapy, sand tray, strengths-based therapy, and solution-focused therapy. We're a team, and each session will begin focusing on what you want to get out of therapy. Faith aspects can also be integrated if desired.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if this is your first time reaching out for support. Counseling is a space to better understand yourself, make sense of what you've been carrying, and learn new ways of navigating life's challenges. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in that process, and I'm happy to connect when you're ready.

I use humor, research, and lots of compassion in each session. I often use a person centered approach with clients, but there are other treatment models that may be helpful to use as well. In your first few sessions, we'll explore what brought you to counseling as you feel comfortable. I see clients short term and long term, all depending on your goals and needs in counseling.
