Hello! I have to start by acknowledging what you are doing right now...in this moment! I do not know the "why" you're here, but here you are and you are worth the time, strength and effort to engage with therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and in this field for about 10 years, it is a honor to sit with people wherever they are currently at in life. People from diverse backgrounds, cultures, ages, personalities and even of various faiths. My goal is to hold space for holistic faith-based Christian Counseling and foster practical skills for healing.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us build therapeutic rapport and collaborate for your specific therapy goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my goals as a therapist is to build a therapeutic relationship you feel is safe, non-judgmental and open to the strengths, values, beliefs you bring. I look forward to meeting and joining you on your journey to the fullness God has for your life.

Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling allows us to hold space where faith and evidenced-based therapy meets. This space is not for the therapist to say what is right or wrong, but to turn towards Biblical foundations and use of psychotherapy interventions to live in the abundance your life has been called to.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) sets the goal to assist you in getting "un-stuck" in recovery from trauma. This evidence-based practice brings education on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) along with the ability to challenge our thoughts to more balanced beliefs of ourselves, others, and the world. CPT can be a jump start from PTSD to Post-Traumatic Growth.
