Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Owner of Safe Haven Therapy Services. My goal is to provide you with hope, aspiration, a voice, empowerment, and nurture as you navigate the experiences of life. I use a warm, nonjudgmental, compassionate, empathetic, and client-centered approach in order to help you regulate how you make choices, how you relate to those around you, and how you handle stress.
In our first session, we will start with brief introductions, and then we will discuss the specific challenges that led you to therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us eot work through in the sessions following.
Having worked in the profession for the last 9 years, I pride myself on creating a place where you can safely learn skills and obtain tools to help you live a healthy and balanced life. I am passionate about the work that I do and am committed to helping you find a healthy path forward on this journey called life.
I love working with everyone! I work with children, teens, and adults; individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to use a collaborative approach in helping my clients reach their goals!
I utilize CBT in the effective treatment for a range of disorders including anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationship problems, anger, and self-esteem. I have used CBT methods in an effort to help clients examine and change faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking and learned patterns of unhelpful behaviors.
When treating couples, my goal is to assist them in navigating the challenges couples face in their relationships.
When treating clients with grief, I utilize evidence-based practices with a focus on the processing related to bereavement to help clients adapt to the loss of loved ones and adjust to changes related to the loss.
I draw on the principles of Christianity to help clients cope with changes and challenges they face.
Psychoeducation is a tool I incorporate into therapy as a means of promoting a client’s insight and understanding related to their presenting issues.
