Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first meeting will be a free video consultation lasting 15 to 30 minutes. During this time, we will get to know each other and discuss the challenges that led you to seek care. If we agree we are a good match, our second meeting will be a formal intake assessment. Before scheduling regular follow-up sessions, we will develop a plan to work together as a team to help you achieve your treatment goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clinically flexible, holistic, and integrative approach to enhancing my clients' overall well-being is what sets my practice apart. My passion for helping others thrive shines through in the compassion I extend to those I serve, and I create a non-judgmental and safe space where my clients are truly heard and respected, no matter their beliefs or background.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with teens and adults from diverse backgrounds. Many of my clients often experience feelings of being overwhelmed, low mood, and anxiety. However, they are dedicated to learning and applying the insights and skills gained from treatment to reach their goals.

My treatment methods

Integrative

An individual’s physical, mental, social, and spiritual health are all interconnected and influence each other, which is why Full Armor’s counseling services are clinically flexible, holistic, and integrative. Integrative Christian counseling, also known as Christian Psychology, is a form of therapy that combines biblical and spiritual principles with evidence-based therapeutic approaches that align with biblical truth. This combination of psychology, theology, and spirituality empowers clients to bring their complete selves to counseling, enabling them to explore how they can utilize their unique strengths and personal faith-based values and practices to support their identifying, understanding, and changing problematic thoughts and behaviors that contribute to spiritual, psychological, physical, and social distress. Your identity in Christ is not something you set aside when you enter the counseling room, and what your faith says about your unique situation matters. We will look to that as the standard and chief guide in helping you reach your goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Our thoughts influence our behaviors, and vice versa. As we work together to change any problematic thoughts and behaviors that may be causing you distress, we will thoroughly explore and gain a better understanding of how they impact each other.

Motivational Interviewing

As we journey together, we will explore and uncover how you can use conscious and unconscious motivators to assist you in standing firm as you pursue your goals.
