(he/him)
I’m a licensed clinical social worker who believes that healing begins with feeling seen. I specialize in creating safe, supportive spaces for individuals and couples to explore life’s challenges with honesty, courage, and curiosity. Whether we’re working through anxiety, relationship struggles, identity shifts, or spiritual questions, I bring a calm, collaborative approach that blends evidence-based tools with deep relational attunement. Together, we’ll uncover clarity, cultivate resilience, and move toward the life you truly want to live.
Our first session is all about you. It’s a space to slow down, take a breath, and begin exploring what brought you here, at your pace, without pressure or expectations. We’ll start by getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions about your background, what you’re currently navigating, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. You don’t have to have everything figured out, just showing up is a powerful first step. This time is also yours to ask questions. We can talk through what therapy might look like, how I work, and what approaches I use (like CBT, ACT, attachment-based work, or faith integration if that’s important to you). My goal is to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and aligned with your needs. By the end of our session, we’ll talk about next steps together, whether that’s setting goals, identifying focus areas, or simply deciding if we’re the right fit.
What stands out most in my approach is the intentional balance I strike between empathy and structure, insight and action. I create a space where clients feel seen, not just for what’s hurting, but for who they are becoming. I’m deeply committed to relational authenticity, and I prioritize building trust that allows for both safety and challenge. Clients often describe my style as calm, clear, and grounding. I draw from a rich set of tools, from evidence-based modalities like CBT, ACT, and attachment work, to spiritually integrated care when faith is part of a client’s story. But more than just methods, it’s the attunement that makes the work meaningful: listening beneath the surface, picking up on what’s said and unsaid, and helping clients name truths they’ve carried silently for too long. My goal isn’t to rush people toward healing, it’s to walk with them at a pace that honors their journey, equipping them with the insight, tools, and confidence to move forward on their own terms.
I work best with individuals and couples who are ready to explore their inner worlds with intention, whether they're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in old patterns, or navigating transitions that have stirred deep emotional waters. Many of my clients are thoughtful, driven people who appear “put together” on the outside, yet privately wrestle with self-doubt, burnout, or the pressure to carry everything alone. I specialize in walking alongside those who are seeking more than just coping skills, they want insight, meaningful change, and deeper connection with themselves and others. Whether we’re unpacking attachment wounds, clarifying values, or working through faith questions, my role is to hold a warm, nonjudgmental space where vulnerability leads to growth. My clients often tell me they feel deeply seen in our work, that I bring both calm grounding and gentle challenge. If you're craving clarity, healing, and a space to be your full, unfiltered self, you might feel at home here.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has become a foundational approach in my therapeutic work, especially with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, or relational challenges. What drew me to ACT is its balance of mindfulness, values-driven action, and psychological flexibility. It gives clients language and tools to hold space for pain without being consumed by it, and instead choose responses aligned with who they truly want to be.
Attachment-based
Attachment theory is foundational in how I view human connection and emotional development across the lifespan. My clinical experience with Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT) has shown me the transformative potential of exploring early relational patterns and how they continue to shape a client’s internal narrative and interpersonal dynamics today. Whether working with adolescents, individuals, or couples, I find that creating a secure therapeutic alliance becomes the gateway to healing, mirroring the safety and responsiveness many clients may have lacked in formative relationships.
Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling allows me to honor the holistic nature of healing, attending not only to the mind and body, but also to the spirit. I’ve seen firsthand how integrating a client’s faith with psychological insight can deepen meaning, foster resilience, and encourage transformative growth. This approach is especially meaningful for clients who want to understand their struggles through a biblical framework, or who draw strength from prayer, scripture, and spiritual reflection
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a cornerstone of my clinical practice because of its clarity, structure, and strong evidence base. Over the years, I’ve seen how CBT empowers clients to recognize unhelpful patterns and reclaim agency over their internal experience. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or relational conflict, CBT provides both the insight and the tools to promote meaningful change.
Couples Counseling
Working with couples is one of the most rewarding parts of my practice because it allows me to witness transformation not just within individuals, but between them. My experience in couples work is shaped by evidence-based modalities, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and communication frameworks like the Gottman Method, combined with deep empathy for the vulnerabilities that arise when love and conflict coexist. I’ve supported couples navigating everything from trust ruptures and unmet needs to communication breakdowns and life transitions.
