Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I have specialized training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including its use with trauma. Much of my work focuses on helping people understand what's driving their reactions and learn how to respond differently. Many of us get caught in patterns where our thoughts, emotions, fears, or past experiences start making decisions for us. ACT helps people step back, see those patterns more clearly, and make choices based on what truly matters to them rather than simply reacting in the moment.

Christian Counseling

Christianity is the foundation of my work, though I don't believe counseling should feel like a sermon. I won't force faith into our conversations, but it shapes how I understand people and the work of change. At the heart of that belief is the idea that your value is not determined by your performance, your mistakes, other people's opinions, or even how you feel about yourself on a given day. Your worth is already established. When it fits naturally within the counseling process, faith can provide a clear foundation for understanding your identity, navigating suffering, and making decisions about the direction of your life. It offers something solid to stand on when circumstances, emotions, and uncertainty are constantly shifting.

Couples Counseling

Working with couples is a specialized focus of my practice because I believe marriage was designed to be more than two people sharing a life together. At its best, it is a partnership where two individuals learn to move toward a common purpose, support one another's growth, and create something together that neither could achieve alone. Most couples are not stuck because of one argument or one issue. They are caught in patterns that slowly erode trust, intimacy, and connection. Over time, those patterns begin to feel normal, even when they are causing pain. My role is to help couples recognize those patterns, understand what keeps them going, and learn a different way of relating. Together, we work on building communication that feels safe and productive, strengthening trust, increasing intimacy, and developing the skills needed to face challenges as a team. Marriage is a gift, but healthy marriages don't happen by accident. They are built intentionally, one interaction at a time.

Experiential Therapy

I believe real change happens through experience, not just conversation. While talking about problems can be helpful, lasting growth often comes from seeing and working through patterns as they happen. That means our sessions won't simply be about discussing life from a distance. Instead, we'll pay attention to what shows up in the room—your thoughts, emotions, reactions, assumptions, and ways of relating to yourself and others. When those patterns become visible, they can be understood, challenged, and changed. Rather than just talking about how you want to live, we'll create opportunities to practice it. The goal is for change to become something you experience, not just something you understand.
