Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you have been carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, overwhelming emotions, relationship stress, or major life changes on your own. I work with adolescents and adults who may feel stuck, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you are experiencing. Together, we can explore the patterns, pain, and challenges that may be holding you back while also building on your existing strengths. Therapy can be a place for healing, clarity, and growth, and I am passionate about helping clients create meaningful change that feels lasting, practical, and aligned with who they want to be.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. I use evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients better understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, and build healthier ways of coping. I believe therapy should not only help you address current symptoms, but also explore the deeper experiences that may be contributing to them. I work to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel safe being honest and open at your own pace. For clients who would like to include their faith in the counseling process, I also offer Christian counseling and can thoughtfully integrate those values into treatment in a way that feels respectful, intentional, and personally meaningful.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment where the focus is on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, relevant life experiences, personal strengths, and what you hope to gain from the counseling process. I see therapy as a partnership, which means we will work together to identify your goals and create a plan that fits your needs and circumstances. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. My role is to meet you with compassion, respect, and genuine care while helping you develop practical tools for healing and growth. Whether you are seeking support for trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or faith-related concerns, I strive to help you feel empowered, understood, and supported every step of the way.
