LPC, 6 years of experience
With over five years of experience in private practice, I am passionate about helping people break free from the patterns that keep them stuck whether it’s addiction, anxiety, depression, or unresolved pain from the past. I offer a compassionate and empowering space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with spiritual insight for those seeking Christian counseling, guiding each person toward lasting transformation and deeper self-understanding.
Your first session with me is all about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. We’ll start by getting to know each other—you’ll have the opportunity to share what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and any questions or concerns you may have. I’ll ask some guiding questions to better understand your story, your background, and your current challenges, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. This session is not about diving deep too fast—it’s about building trust and starting to map out your goals for therapy. You can expect a calm, judgment-free space where your thoughts and emotions are honored. Whether you come in with a clear plan or just know that something needs to change, we’ll begin this journey together at your pace. By the end of the session, we’ll talk about what ongoing therapy might look like for you and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
What stands out about my approach is the way I combine clinical expertise with deep compassion and faith-based insight. I don’t just focus on symptoms, I focus on the whole person: your story, your beliefs, your pain, and your potential. I draw from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Christian Counseling to offer a balanced approach that is both practical and heart-centered. I help clients understand how their early experiences shaped their current struggles, while also equipping them with real tools to shift unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors. For those who desire it, I incorporate biblical truth and spiritual guidance to support lasting healing from the inside out. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen and empowered in our work together. They leave therapy not only feeling understood—but also with a clearer sense of identity, stronger boundaries, deeper peace, and practical strategies they can apply every day. My goal is always to help you move from surviving to truly thriving—with freedom, clarity, and a renewed sense of hope.
I’m best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to do the deeper work of healing and personal growth—especially those who feel weighed down by anxiety, depression, addiction, or unresolved trauma. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or their faith. Some are navigating major life transitions, while others are working to break free from patterns of self-sabotage or unhealthy relationships. I work well with people who are introspective, open to change (even if it feels scary), and looking for a therapist who will hold space for their emotions while also offering practical tools to move forward. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your self-worth, rebuild your life after loss or addiction, set better boundaries, or invite God into your healing process, I’m here to support you. If you’re longing to be seen, heard, and guided with honesty, compassion, and faith-based wisdom, you’re in the right place.
Our earliest relationships helped shape how we see ourselves, how we trust others, and how we cope with emotional pain. In our work together, we’ll explore those relational patterns, especially those that may be affecting your current relationships or sense of self. I aim to create a secure therapeutic bond where you can process past wounds and begin to develop healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others.
Our thoughts powerfully impact our emotions and behaviors. Using CBT, we’ll work together to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, truth-based perspectives. This practical, skills-based approach is especially effective in managing anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, and self-esteem issues. CBT empowers you to take control of your mental habits and walk in greater freedom.
For those who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process, I offer spiritually sensitive therapy grounded in biblical principles. Whether you’re wrestling with questions of purpose, healing from spiritual trauma, or simply want to align your mental health journey with your faith, I offer a Christ-centered space that honors both your emotional and spiritual growth. We’ll draw strength from Scripture, prayer (if desired), and godly wisdom while also engaging in clinically sound practices.
