New to Grow
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, practice owner, and seminary-trained pastor with a passion for helping people move from surviving to thriving. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I believe meaningful change occurs when insight is paired with action, and I work alongside clients to identify barriers, build on strengths, and develop practical strategies for growth. My professional experience includes working with individuals, couples, trauma survivors, and those navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Brainspotting, tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each client. In addition to my clinical training, my pastoral background allows me to thoughtfully integrate faith into the therapeutic process when desired by the client. I understand that healing often involves emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions. My own life experiences have taught me the value of resilience, perseverance, and personal transformation. These experiences inform my work and help me connect authentically with clients from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or seeking a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where growth, healing, and lasting change can occur.
Your first session is designed to be both informative and productive. After reviewing intake paperwork, discussing confidentiality, and answering any questions about the therapy process, we will begin exploring the concerns that brought you to therapy. Rather than spending the entire session gathering information, I strive to provide a genuine therapeutic experience from the very beginning so you can get a real sense of my approach and determine whether we are a good fit. Together, we will identify your goals, discuss factors that may be contributing to current challenges, and begin developing a plan for meaningful change. My approach is collaborative, engaging, and action-oriented, allowing clients to leave the first session with greater clarity, insight, and direction. Whether you are seeking help for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or personal growth, my goal is to ensure that our work begins moving forward from day one.

I am best suited to work with individuals and couples who are motivated to create meaningful change in their lives and are willing to actively engage in the therapeutic process. My ideal clients understand that growth often requires honest self-reflection, personal accountability, and a commitment to applying what is learned both inside and outside of sessions. I work well with clients who are ready to move beyond simply identifying problems and toward developing practical solutions, healthier patterns, and lasting change. Whether addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I strive to create a supportive environment that encourages insight, resilience, and progress. While every client deserves a space to feel heard and understood, my approach is particularly effective for those seeking a collaborative, goal-oriented therapeutic experience that combines reflection with action. Together, we work to uncover barriers to growth, build on existing strengths, and develop the tools necessary to achieve a higher quality of life.
