As a mental health provider, my goal is to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you'll be heard, supported, and encouraged as we begin working together toward healing and growth. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs, whether it be through talk, art, or play. We'll work together to explore the challenges you're facing, identify patterns, and build practical tools to help you cope and grow. Therapy is not about quick fixes, but about finding lasting growth and healing. Rather than focusing on specific techniques, I allow the environment to guide the theoretical approach.
Families are the smallest social units, yet familial relationships are critical to mental health from the individual to the global level. Having both a master's and doctorate focused specifically on Marriage & Family Counseling, I understand how important these relationships are because families are the backbone of society.
Life can feel overwhelming, and you deserve to feel supported! If you are ready to share your story, I invite you to reach out. As a graduate from Liberty University, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey toward healing and hope, whether it be from a Biblical perspective or from a secular worldview.

Rather than focusing on specific techniques, the far greater predictors of positive outcomes are therapeutic relationships, or counselor qualities in therapeutic relationships that capitalize on clients' internal strengths (Cochran and Cochran, 2015). Therefore, I allow the environment to guide the theoretical approach.
