Welcome! As a Licensed Professional Counselor i believe in helping my clients lead mentally healthy and peace filled lives. Living with mental health concerns can be chaotic and uncertain, and asking for help can be hard, so congratulations on taking the first step by looking for a provider. I see all clients ages 19 and older, but I specialize in attachment related concerns, women's issues, and spiritually integrated therapy.
As a systemic therapist with a marriage and family therapy background, and a Christ centered worldview, I tend to view my clients holistically. I work together with my clients to deepen their self understanding, identify negative patterns, and increase positive change. The modalities I tend to gravitate towards are Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowen Family Therapy.
During the first session I try to give my clients the opportunity to tell their story. Not just the "why" of coming to therapy, but how they see themselves, what they like about their lives, and what they might like to change. This introductory session gives me an opportunity to get to know my clients and help them determine goals as they become more comfortable with the therapy process.
