New to Grow
Hello! I'm so glad you've found your way here. If you are a new or soon to be parent navigating the beautiful, chaotic, and often overwhelming journey of raising a child, or a dedicated spouse seeking tools to strengthen your relationship and connect more deeply, I understand the weight and the joy of those roles. As a believer, husband and father myself, my goal is to help you thrive in them, not just survive. Inspired by Christian values of hope, unconditional worth, and peace—as beautifully captured in Matthew 10—I approach therapy with genuine compassion and a client-centered focus. Whether your faith in Jesus Christ is a cornerstone of your life or you are simply looking for a therapist who respects these values, I offer an integrative, non-judgmental approach. Together, we'll work toward restoring your peace, empowering you to make positive changes, and nurturing the incredible person you already are. I look forward to walking this path with you.
In our first session together, I am here to listen to your story, work with you on creating a personal goal, and allow that time for us to get to know one another. Receiving counseling services for the first time can sound overwhelming and scary, but I am here to meet you at your own pace.
As your therapist, my time is dedicated to you, your life goals, and challenges. Although I may bring an idea topic for discussion, I am always flexible in meeting you right where you are at and the life stressors you may be facing during that session. Feeling safe, comforted, and grounded are highly important to me and giving you the necessary skills to create that for yourself is all a part of the journey.
If you are wrestling with the heavy weight of past mistakes, trauma, relationship challenges, or the complexities of parenting all while juggling faith in Jesus Christ. Please know that your struggles do not make you "weak" in your faith; you were never meant to carry these burdens alone. As a fellow believer, I understand the unique intersection of faith and life’s challenges. My mission is to walk alongside you, offering support and tools so that you can flourish—whether you are a parent, spouse, student, or young adult. Together, we’ll work toward restoring your peace, faith, and nurturing the incredible person you already are. I look forward to helping you experience transformation from the inside out.

IFS is a wonderful way to safely get to know oneself in "parts" and create safety across the different parts of ourself that we all hold. I use this method along with body scan, meditation, and grounding practices. IFS can be a powerful tool to better understand some of our most vulnerable and painful past life experiences.
CBT is my favorite method in helping clients better understand some of the internal beliefs or thought patterns that navigate their thinking and action patterns. CBT is a great way to help rewrite our beliefs and understand where they come from.
As a Christian therapist, I believe in incorporating the word of God, prayer, and scientific based methods of therapy. I believe that God wants to walk this journey right a long with you, guide you in your thought and action, and allow you to thrive in life while gaining positive methods of self-care.
Sometimes in life, we need practical methods of overcoming some of our life circumstances. Solution focused treatment allows for clients to meet some of their most immediate needs during their therapy journey while helping to expand on future goals.
