Are you ready to take a journey through introspection and honest evaluation and not be judged, but guided through the process? Are you ready to feel confident and have a sense of self-esteem for navigating through these tough issues? Are you ready to holistically go through the aspects of your life that are keeping you from knowing yourself and stagnating personal growth and progress? Then I might be a good fit for you.

I am honored to be on this healing journey with you. I would love to assist you with finding new vitality in your life and relationships.

It takes courage to be radically honest and through self awareness lies the path to healing. I create a safe and non judgmental space so you can explore past trauma, grief and loss, anxiety stressors, and negative thought patterns. You may already be aware of self defeating behaviors but unable to stop or change. I will guide you through useful techniques you will be able to use for the rest of your life and I will gently push you to step out of your comfort zone each session. We'll explore questions like: What do you want most out of life? What thoughts and behaviors are holding you back from creating the relationships you want?

Addiction also known as the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It takes your money, kills dreams, and destroys relationships and you are tired of it.

Substance use has taken me further than I wanted to go because I did not count the cost. Prayer upon request.

My passion for counseling arises from my deep desire to help provide clarity, hope, and healing for those struggling with issues surrounding depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, conflict resolution, marriage, and parenting issues.

My approach to counseling closely mirrors my view of life: there is no one-size-fits-all answer. I use a multifaceted approach to counseling, pulling from the core theoretical approaches of CBT, Person-Centered, and DBT . I believe that as humans, we were created for connection with others. We all experience unexpected circumstances that make life challenging, and attempting to balance life's challenges on our own can be confusing and frustrating. I focus on helping my clients discover their self-worth and core values in order to help them build a life they are proud of.

I strongly believe in the power of transformation and ability to heal. As a therapist, my goal is to develop meaningful relationships with my clients in an effort to create an emotionally safe space.

The best part of being a therapist is being able to walk with a person as they explore their own personal growth and get through some of the most challenging parts of their life.

I enjoy working with individuals as they learn to be their best selves and operate in the world they currently live in regardless of what that looks like. When working with clients I like to have a strengths-based focus as well as a holistic approach that considers the whole picture that can help with the overall wellness of the individual.
