In this world, we face trials and challenges of various kinds that can leave us feeling confused, disheartened, anxious, lost, and sometimes even hopeless. Know that you are not alone and certainly do not have to face these struggles alone. Using an integrative and goal-oriented approach, I strive to walk alongside those seeking healing, growth, and transformational change. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self-concept, and relationship issues. I have also supported couples toward restoration and reconciliation, resolving communication and marital issues. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and biblical counseling. Additionally, I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman's Rapoport Intervention, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to empower clients to challenge irrational beliefs, communicate and manage emotions, needs, thoughts, and behaviors in a healthier, more realistic way. I recognize the importance of faith and spirituality and how it can largely impact one's worldview. I offer Christian/Biblical counseling to those seeking faith integration in the therapeutic journey. Finding a good fit for a therapist is crucial for the healing process and could feel like a tiring task. Don't hesitate to reach out for a free virtual consultation - I look forward to the privilege to support you!

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

I strive to provide a safe and authentic space where my clients can process through difficult emotions and life's adverse events. I hope to empower my clients to identify positive ways to move forward as well as equipping my clients with the tools and skills to manage triggers, difficult emotions, and overcoming past trauma.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I incorporate elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to help clients gain awareness of negative cognitions that inform maladaptive behaviors, negatively impacting relationships or decision-making. I also use Gottman's methods along with elements from Emotionally Focused Therapy to work with couples toward improved communication, growth, and healing. I utilize an integrative and goal-oriented approach to help clients identify tangible and realistic steps to move beyond the feeling of being "stuck."

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having been trained in TF-CBT and EMDR, I am equipped to help clients overcome past trauma that is particularly painful and negatively impacts mental health or functioning. I am experienced in working with clients that have struggled with anxiety, positive self-concept, ADHD, Bi-Polar Disorder, Substance Use issues, and relationship conflict. My personal faith background along with my training in biblical counseling allows me to incorporate spirituality for clients who are seeking Christian faith integration in their treatment.
