First session
In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you, to find out what's bringing you in, what's been feeling challenging to you, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy.
Strengths
The feedback that I receive from the majority of my clients is that I create an environment that feels safe and comfortable in which they can open up and explore their feelings. My approach is client centered. I view us as a collaborative team working together to achieve your goals.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who's ready to explore their inner world and make meaningful changes in their life.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use mindfulness and I help clients to identify their values, as well as developing cognitive techniques 2 deal with uncomfortable and intense emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use cognitive behavioral therapy as an approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, will identify unhelpful patterns and learn tools to shift them, so you can feel more in control, balance, and confident in your daily life.
Christian Counseling
I will not only use my educational background, but I will also use Bible based counseling to assist you in bringing about positive change based on what the Bible teaches.
Compassion-Focused
My approach using compassion focused therapy helps people develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. Many of my clients struggle with self-criticism or shame, and together we work to build inner strength, self-compassion, and emotional balance I help guide clients in understanding their emotions and responding to them with care rather than judgment.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
My approach using emotionally focused therapy will help individuals and couples understand and transform the emotional patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected.
