New to Grow
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who takes a holistic, client-centered approach to therapy. I provide a nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported and met where they are, while working toward meaningful change. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, and trauma, empowering them to build resilience, gain clarity, and create lasting improvements in their lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is a safe space to start sharing your story—there’s no need to hold back, but also no pressure to share everything at once. I encourage you to be yourself and go at your own pace. Building trust takes time, and together we’ll create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My therapeutic approach is holistic, addressing the emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and physical aspects of well-being while integrating CBT and DBT to provide practical tools for lasting change. I’m a compassionate listener who meets you where you are and am committed to offering what you need to hear—not just what you want to hear. With extensive experience supporting clients from young adulthood through middle age, I help individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, insight, and actionable strategies.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to make meaningful change and want practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or addiction. I specialize in helping young adults through middle-aged adults challenge unhelpful thought patterns, navigate life’s challenges, and build resilience—all within a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can go at your own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because it is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. CBT focuses on building effective coping skills and identifying patterns that may be keeping clients stuck. This collaborative approach empowers individuals to create meaningful, lasting change both in and outside of therapy.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) because it gives clients real-life tools to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate relationships, and handle stress more effectively. DBT focuses on building skills that help clients feel more in control and balanced in their day-to-day lives.
Christian Counseling
I offer Christian counseling for clients who want to incorporate their faith into therapy. This approach integrates evidence-based practices with biblical principles to support emotional healing, personal growth, and spiritual well-being. It allows clients to explore life’s challenges in a way that aligns with their values and beliefs.
