I have been passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions for over 13 years now. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where clients can heal, regain balance, and return to living fully. I believe that with the right support, people can move beyond their struggles, strengthen their resilience, and rediscover hope for the future.
My approach to therapy is strengths-based, meaning that as we journey together, you will develop a more resilient and authentic self. And how your strengths and challenges support your best self. I look forward to accompanying you at every juncture of your therapeutic journey.
My therapeutic style is non-directive and client-centric. I incorporate God-centric interventions for interested clients to help them be congruent with their belief systems.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to assist clients recognize their negative thought patterns and work with them to challenge and reframe these thoughts. This process involves questioning the evidence for these thoughts, examining their usefulness, and considering alternative, more balanced ways of thinking. It also includes behavioral experiments and activities where the client tries new ways of acting, problem-solving skills, and monitoring progress.
Christian Counseling
In my practice, I blend traditional psychological theories and interventions with integration of Christian principles and scripture to meet the unique needs of clients who are interested in Christian counseling, respecting their spiritual journey and personal beliefs.
