What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive, and structured introduction to therapy. I begin by creating a safe space where they feel comfortable sharing their concerns. We discuss their goals, challenges, and expectations, allowing me to tailor my approach to their unique needs. I also provide an overview of my holistic and strength-based methods, including how I integrate CBT, trauma-informed care, and faith-based counseling when appropriate. Together, we establish a foundation for healing and growth, ensuring clients feel empowered and understood from the very start.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients heal and grow by identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns. My approach fosters a safe, supportive, and empowering environment, where individuals learn to challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. Through structured techniques and guided self-reflection, I help clients regain control over their thoughts and behaviors, promoting lasting emotional well-being and personal growth.

Trauma Informed Care

I use **trauma-informed care** to help clients heal and grow from past trauma by creating a **safe, supportive, and empowering environment**. My approach prioritizes trust, emotional safety, and collaboration, ensuring individuals feel heard and valued. I guide clients in reclaiming their sense of control, fostering resilience, and building meaningful connections that support their healing journey. By honoring their experiences and strengths, I help them move forward with confidence and renewed hope.

Christian Counseling

I use Christian counseling to help clients heal and grow by integrating faith with therapeutic guidance. My approach fosters a safe, supportive, and empowering environment, where individuals find strength through scripture, prayer, and biblical principles. By combining spiritual wisdom with practical counseling techniques, I help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and deepen their faith, promoting lasting emotional and spiritual well-being.
