I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Doctoral Candidate with clinical expertise in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma, bi-polar disorder, and chronic medical conditions exacerbated by mental health. I provide an interactive therapeutic style for individuals, couples, and families. To do this, I integrate various methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized client centered approach while utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, spirituality, motivational interviewing, and solution focused strategies inclusive of compassion and understanding. It is my belief that all people are born precious and free. Along the way, life presents challenges that could cause an individual to feel unfulfilled, empty, unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. Together, you and I will discover the root cause of the pain and implement a plan for healing. I am here to help you examine and explore issues that make you feel stuck. I understand that each person is the driver of their own life and has within them the strength to overcome obstacles. I encourage introspection and observation of behavior, rather than make judgement or engage in negative self- criticism. I believe therapy can be life changing!
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 me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My therapeutic approach is based upon your individual goals. I understand reaching out can be scary but if you take the first step, we can take the rest together.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past eight years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Christian Counseling
I’ve been using Christian Counseling as needed in my practice for the past eight years. Christian counseling is a form of psychotherapy that is integrated into the methodology of traditional talk therapy along with beliefs and practices and the application of theological concepts. Christian counseling aims at navigating spiritual concerns.
Adlerian
No one functions or learns within a vacuum. Adlerian theory works well with families, individuals, and couples as this modality explores familial and social contexts and focuses on basic needs of belonging, identity, and interconnectedness. This awareness and practice toward fulfilling these needs reduce negative feelings that can result in unproductive, maladaptive, and self-defeating behaviors. Adlerian practices can increase motivation toward successful integration and feelings of purposefulness by understanding how early experiences can shape self-concepts, personality traits, and coping strategies.
