What would your life become if you truly met yourself? This is what I help my clients experience. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership—one where your voice holds equal weight and healing unfolds in a space that feels safe, open, and free of judgment. What would your life become if you truly met yourself? This is what I help my clients experience. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership—one where your voice holds equal weight and healing unfolds in a space that feels safe, open, and free of judgment. If anxiety, perfectionism, or self-doubt have been weighing on you— or you’re longing for a space where your faith and values are truly welcomed—you’ve come to the right place. My therapeutic style is empathic, blends insight with action, and tailored to you as an individual. My aim is that you feel empowered, understood, and challenged to grow throughout our work together. I show up as a real person. I listen closely, I ask thoughtful questions, and I help you connect the dots without judgment. We'll define your goals and explore patterns holding you back in your life and relationships. Within my therapy toolbox is an assortment of approaches such as CBT, psychodynamic, schema therapy, ACT, faith based, and experiential therapies. You will learn more about yourself through our therapy together, identify and shift negative thought patterns hindering your perception of self, deepen insight by exploring how childhood experiences shape who you are, how you think and behave, as well as develop practical coping strategies that work to help restore balance. If you are of Christian faith and desire therapy that integrates scripture and your spiritual values, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate these into our sessions in a way that feels meaningful and supportive to you.
First session
In our first session we'll begin by setting your therapy goals as the foundation for our work, along with a dive into your history to begin looking at patterns and themes that shape your thoughts, behaviors, and uncover what may be holding you back. In our work together you'll learn how to set boundaries, strengthen relationships, and control your emotions with greater ease & clarity.
Strengths
I am that therapist that is rooting for your success. I listen deeply and help you connect the dots in a way that has been shared with me to be quite helpful and instrumental for growth. I'm depth oriented, and have experienced client's share that their therapy experience was life changing.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with career professionals and college students who are navigating perfectionism and looking to explore their identity outside of high achievement. Self esteem building and self advocacy work are areas I truly enjoy supporting clients with, especially concerning improvement of interpersonal dynamics with others. I work best with those who are motivated and interested in practicing change through the therapy process.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Together, we'll explore the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Often, we live inside thoughts that lead to behaviors that no longer serve us, and with CBT we can begin to learn how these patterns are sustained. You'll be challenged to practice new ways of thinking through thought experiments, and engage in behavioral change that aligns with your values.
Christian Counseling
I like to create a space where your faith and mental health can be explored together. Therapy sessions integrate your relationship with God, spiritual values, scripture, and personal beliefs while addressing emotional and psychological concerns. This approach is flexible, allowing you to find support, and grow in ways that aligns and honors your faith.
Psychodynamic
We will explore how your past and early experiences shape who you are today. This approach is all about developing insight and learning about the unconscious patterns that may be impacting the view of yourself, the world, and your relationships. You can expect us to take a look at family history, childhood experiences, dream exploration, and uncover underlying motivations.
