New to Grow
I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where clients can safely process life's challenges while developing practical tools for lasting change. I specialize in trauma recovery, including childhood and adult sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, autism, ADHD, men's mental health, and life transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, DBT-informed skills, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered care. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-based counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian principles into the therapeutic process. My goal is to help clients move beyond surviving to living with greater confidence, purpose, and emotional freedom.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your current concerns, and talk about your personal history at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You don't have to share everything at once—we'll move at a speed that respects your readiness. Together we'll identify your goals, discuss what you hope to gain from therapy, and begin creating a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the therapy process so you can leave with a better understanding of what to expect. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful about your healing journey.
I combine empathy with practical, goal-oriented strategies to help clients create meaningful change. I strive to build authentic relationships where clients feel safe enough to be honest while also feeling challenged to grow. My experience working with trauma survivors, individuals with autism and ADHD, men navigating emotional struggles, couples, and families allows me to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I collaborate with clients to develop skills that fit their strengths, values, and lifestyle. Whether we're processing trauma, improving relationships, managing anxiety, or building healthier coping skills, I focus on helping clients understand the "why" behind their experiences while equipping them with tools they can confidently use in everyday life. For clients seeking faith integration, I can also incorporate biblical principles and prayer as part of the therapeutic process. These responses align well with your specialties in sexual abuse trauma, men's mental health, autism/ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and Christian counseling, while maintaining an approachable tone that appeals to prospective clients.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are ready to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. I am especially passionate about helping individuals struggling with trauma, childhood or adult sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, ADHD, autism, men's mental health, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting first responders, caregivers, helping professionals, and those experiencing burnout. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or simply looking to build healthier relationships and coping skills, we'll work together to identify barriers, process difficult experiences, and develop practical tools for lasting healing. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can heal, grow, and move toward the life you want. For those who desire it, I also offer Christian faith integration as part of the therapeutic process.

I identify as
Christian Counseling
For clients who choose to include their faith in counseling, I integrate Christian principles into the therapeutic process while using evidence-based treatment approaches. Together, we can explore how your faith can provide strength, hope, healing, and guidance as you navigate life's challenges. Prayer, Scripture, and spiritual discussions are incorporated only when they align with your goals and level of comfort, ensuring therapy remains respectful of your individual beliefs and preferences. These descriptions align well with your focus on trauma recovery, sexual abuse survivors, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and your integration of Christian counseling when requested by clients.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns that may be keeping you stuck and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking. You'll learn practical coping skills you can use in everyday life to reduce anxiety, improve mood, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and better manage life's challenges.
