I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy where you can feel safe, seen, and accepted as you are. I bring a calm presence, gentle humor, and deep care for people into the room. My faith is important to me and shapes the way I love and honor others, while always respecting your beliefs and values. I am trained in trauma work and draw from CBT, person centered therapy, mindfulness, and I am actively learning EMDR to better support healing.
In our work together, you can expect a conversational and down to earth style. I am warm and approachable, yet also direct and tactful when you need honest feedback or gentle challenge. I am genuinely curious about your story and what makes you uniquely you. My goal is to walk alongside you, help you make sense of what you are facing, and empower you to grow into the healthiest version of yourself.
From the very first session, I focus on creating a sense of safety and confidentiality so you feel comfortable opening up at your own pace. I will ask thoughtful questions, listen closely, and share initial impressions or helpful information about what you are experiencing. Together, we will begin identifying your goals and deciding where to focus, so you leave that first appointment with a sense of direction, hope, and support.
