With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical.

My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses.

When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

In counseling, I draw from a range of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Gaining awareness of these patterns is often a powerful first step toward creating meaningful and lasting change, especially during times of transition or increased stress.

Together, we will identify unhelpful or negative thought patterns and gently challenge them, replacing them with more balanced and realistic perspectives. I may incorporate tools such as thought records to help you recognize common thinking styles and evaluate whether your thoughts are accurate, helpful, and aligned with your goals.

To support meaningful change, I also focus on behavior. This may include developing practical, achievable steps that encourage engagement in activities that improve mood and overall well-being. When working with anxiety or avoidance, we may use gradual, supportive exposure techniques to help you face challenges with greater confidence over time.

In addition, I integrate problem-solving strategies, coping skills, and relaxation techniques to help you manage stress and navigate life’s challenges more effectively. My goal is to provide you with practical tools you can use beyond our sessions—helping you build confidence, resilience, and healthier patterns as you move forward.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable, supportive connection. We’ll talk about what brings you to counseling, any current challenges you may be facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. Whether you’re navigating a life transition, experiencing anxiety or depression, or seeking support in your relationships, I will meet you with openness and without judgment. I’ll also ask some questions about your background to better understand your experiences and help guide our approach. By the end of the session, we’ll begin identifying goals and discuss next steps, so you can leave with a clearer sense of direction and what to expect moving forward.
