Hey there! I'm a young clinician that enjoys aiding clients through major and minor life transitions. I prefer a interactive, conversational style that allows for free flowing rapport building and client comfort through the treatment process. I know that counseling/therapy is not an easy situation to put oneself in, but if I can ease it in any way possible, that is the goal, so that we can focus on what most matters to you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session, may or may not, be full of intake paperwork, which means our agenda is based around collecting data. I try to make this task flow easily and run as smoothly as possible. If intake has already been completed, we review the information, along with the measures and start talking goals/purpose for therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The one thing that stands out about me as a clinician is that I am very inviting. I do my best to always provide a comfortable environment that allows clients to want to come back.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In order to understand our actions, one must look at the thoughts that influence our emotions.

Christian Counseling

For those that center God/Christ in their lives, incorporating Him and biblical principles (scripture) can be a mighty tool towards healing, as well as understanding the path forward.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Many clients respond best to working more so with finding solutions to present issues and improving their daily function by creating workable plans.

Narrative

We all have underlying stories or narratives that dictate how we interact with ourselves, as well as the world and others. Identifying negative or limiting beliefs/narratives, can help clients maneuver through difficult transitional phases of life.

During our intake session, I realized that she's real and personable. She's not acting just as a therapist, but also as a human who has been through things as well. I felt seen, heard, and understood.

I felt really at ease. The conversation flowed very well and I didn’t feel like I needed to point out every key point going on right now or in my past, but still was able to skim over stuff.
