LPCC, 20 years of experience
New to Grow
As a healing professional with over 25 years of experience, I am dedicated to empowering people to overcome their present challenges and lead more productive, abundant lives. My keen ability to listen, understand, and help others recognize their own internal strengths is my superpower in improving the lives of my clients. My services focus on working with individuals, couples, families, and minors (ages 13-17). I specialize in treating ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, coping skills, domestic violence, women's issues, substance use, self-esteem, and relationship issues
During our first session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance and creating a safe, comfortable space for you to share your story. I will listen attentively to understand your unique experiences, challenges, and goals. Together, we will begin to identify the key areas you wish to address in therapy and start developing a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and aspirations. This initial session serves as a foundation for our work together, and I aim to provide you with a sense of hope, support, and direction as we embark on this transformative journey
I approach therapy by utilizing a variety of modalities tailored to each client's specific needs. This includes cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, trauma-sensitive approaches, motivational interviewing, and biblical counseling for those with a similar faith. I conduct a comprehensive assessment using tools, interviews, and observation to thoroughly understand the issues you may be experiencing. Together, we then collaborate to devise an appropriate course of treatment aligned with your unique situation.
My ideal client has typically tried various methods to improve their current functioning, relationships, perspective on life with limited success and is now searching for someone to work with them to gain a broader understanding of themselves and to explore ways of making progress. I look forward to partnering with you in this process and I am willing to use my training and expertise to help you move forward.
I was primarily trainined in this perspective. Where appropriate I utilize this method to help clients identify how their current issues may be created, impacted, and sustained by how they perceive the world and their thoughts about the world. This insight can help empower the client to make improvements in their general level of functioning.
I have utilized this method to help clients envision a solution to their current difficulties. Often people struggle with even identifying how improvement and resolution look in objective terms and this lack of insight impedes their ability to move forward. By collaborating on what improvement looks like and developing a plan to achieve improvement progress becomes possible.
I utilize the basic tenets of Christianity and scriptural knowledge to help guide clients to identifying areas for improvement and development in their lives
