First session
Your first session is focused on getting to know you, understanding what brings you to therapy, and creating a clear direction for our work together. We will start by reviewing important policies and answering any questions you may have about the therapy process. From there, I will complete an initial assessment to learn more about your current concerns, symptoms, history, and life experiences. This part of the session may feel a little more structured than future sessions, but it helps me develop a better understanding of your needs. We will also begin identifying a few goals for therapy so that our work feels purposeful, collaborative, and focused on what is most important to you.
Strengths
My clients often describe me as warm, solution-focused, engaged, and insightful. I believe a strong, comfortable connection makes it easier to share tough experiences and make real changes in your life. Together, we’ll set goals that actually matter to you and work toward them at a pace that feels doable. I want to understand more than just what’s bothering you on the surface. I care about your life, your relationships, your strengths, and the experiences that have shaped who you are. We’ll look at what triggers your stress, why certain moments feel so heavy, and how you can take better care of yourself when things get tough. I also break down how stress and past experiences affect your mind and body, helping you make sense of what you’re going through. I focus on giving you practical, real-world tools to manage overwhelming emotions, handle daily stress, and work through negative or spiraling thoughts. Instead of just talking about problems, we’ll practice ways to reframe difficult thoughts into something more balanced and helpful. My goal is to help you feel confident navigating life’s challenges and build a life that feels truly meaningful and worth living.
Ideal clients
When life feels like too much, it is usually not just one big thing. More often, it is the slow build-up of feeling stuck, anxious, or exhausted by constant change. You might be lying awake at night replaying conversations, wondering why everyone else seems to have it figured out, or feeling deeply lonely after a breakup, divorce, or confusing situationship. It is exhausting to carry the weight of past trauma, grief, or constant self-doubt while trying to keep up with daily life. I work with older teens (16+) and adults who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck in spiraling thoughts. I specialize in supporting healthcare workers, teachers, childcare providers, and caregivers: the people who spend all day taking care of everyone else and end up with nothing left for themselves. If desired, we can integrate Christian faith into our work as a source of strength and hope. You don’t need to have your thoughts sorted out or know exactly what to fix before reaching out. We can start right where you are and build a path forward that feels manageable and true to you.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Instead of getting caught up in constant overthinking or trying to fight off tough emotions, we will focus on what truly matters to you. Together, we can clarify your core priorities in areas like your relationships, work, or personal well-being, and map out realistic steps to help you live in alignment with those goals. I also teach simple grounding and breathing exercises to help you stay present when your mind starts racing. Learning how to slow down and pause makes it much easier to respond to stress with calm and clarity, rather than feeling controlled by your thoughts.
Christian Counseling
When desired, we can explore how your faith influences your view of yourself, your relationships, and your personal growth. Scripture, prayer, and Christian values can be included as sources of encouragement and meaning, all while maintaining a grounded, professional approach. Faith-integrated care is only included when specifically requested by you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help you notice negative or overly critical thoughts and find more balanced, realistic ways of looking at things. Together, we look at what triggers tough feelings, notice patterns that leave you feeling overwhelmed, and build everyday tools to help you work through them. My goal is to help you feel confident managing your emotions, handling life's challenges, and making positive changes that stick.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I help you better understand your emotions and find healthier ways to handle life's challenges. Together, we focus on practical skills to manage overwhelming feelings, handle stress, speak up for your needs, and set clear boundaries. My goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, navigate tough situations with ease, and build stronger, healthier relationships.
