About
Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the road ahead. Whether you are walking through grief and loss, anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, or simply longing for a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship with God, you don't have to walk that journey alone. Jesus Christ is the foundation of both my life and my counseling. I believe He is the source of hope, healing, truth, and lasting transformation. It is my privilege to humbly come alongside others, creating a safe and compassionate place to explore life's challenges while seeking the wisdom, freedom, and healing that God desires for each person.
The word bastante—“enough” or “sufficient”—captures my view of healing: God is enough, and through Him we move toward wholeness.
For those seeking Christian counseling, I thoughtfully integrate evidence-based counseling practices with biblical truth and the work of the Holy Spirit. My prayer is that every client leaves knowing they have been seen, heard, and loved, with renewed hope and confidence as God continues the work that only He can accomplish.
First session
The first session is an important part of the counseling journey. It is a time for us to get to know one another, explore your story, and better understand what has brought you to counseling. Together, we'll begin discerning your needs, your goals, and the next steps as we seek hope, healing, and growth. As a collaborative process, counseling is a safe place where you should feel heard, supported, and cared for. As we talk, patterns, strengths, and opportunities for growth often begin to emerge. At the end of our time together, there is generally one optional piece of growth work to consider before our next session. This opportunity helps connect the time between appointments, encouraging continued growth while creating space for God to continue His work. Jesus Christ is the foundation of both my life and my counseling. While I cannot change anyone, I believe He can. It is my privilege to come alongside you, thoughtfully integrating evidence-based counseling practices, biblical truth, and the work of the Holy Spirit as together we seek the healing, hope, and transformation that only God can bring.
Strengths
I believe counseling is deeply personal and built on trust. Every person has a unique story, and I get to walk alongside them with compassion, grace, and respect. Together, we seek to better understand the circumstances of life that may be contributing to grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, or other challenges while discovering the hope God has for the journey ahead. My counseling approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For those seeking Christian counseling, I thoughtfully integrate biblical truth and the work of the Holy Spirit, believing that in Christ we are made new. As we explore life's experiences through the lens of God's truth, He brings healing, renewed hope, and lasting transformation. While counseling provides practical tools and insight, I believe lasting healing comes from God. My role is not to change people but to faithfully walk beside them, trusting the Lord to reveal truth, restore hope, and accomplish the work that only He can do.
Ideal clients
I am best suited to work with middle and high school students, as well as adult men and women who are navigating life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, and questions of identity and purpose. Many come feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck, looking not only for relief from what they are facing, but for hope, healing, and a clearer direction for moving forward. I am humbly honored to come alongside clients who are willing to engage the counseling process and take intentional steps toward growth. Whether helping adolescents navigate school, friendships, identity, and loss, or walking with adults through grief, relationship struggles, health concerns, vocational changes, or other seasons of transition, my desire is to provide a safe, compassionate place where they feel seen, heard, and supported as they move toward healing. At the heart of my work is helping clients recognize their God-given value and move beyond self-doubt and shame toward a healthier understanding of who they are. For those who desire it, I thoughtfully integrate biblical truth and the work of the Holy Spirit into the counseling process. It is my prayer that, as we walk together, God will bring healing, restore hope, reveal His truth, and continue the transforming work only He can accomplish in each person's life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As we identify beliefs and thought patterns that may be contributing to distress, we replace lies with truth—drawing from sound psychological principles and, for those who desire Christian counseling, the truth of God's Word. This process fosters renewed thinking, emotional healing, and lasting transformation.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I offer a person-centered approach, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you are deeply heard and valued. I believe true healing happens in the context of authentic relationship, reflecting the care, compassion, and unconditional love of Christ.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use a solution-focused approach to help clients identify strengths, build on what is already working, and move toward meaningful goals. This encourages hope and forward movement, grounded in the belief that growth and change are always possible.
Psychoeducation
I provide practical tools and education to help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and responses. This empowers clients to grow in awareness, wisdom, and intentional living, aligning mind and heart with truth.
Strength-Based
I take a strengths-based approach by helping clients recognize and build upon the resilience, abilities, and resources they already possess. Rather than focusing only on problems, we identify where God has already been at work, using those strengths as a foundation for growth, healing, and renewed confidence.
