Many people come to therapy feeling stuck—whether in a relationship, a difficult season of life, or patterns that seem difficult to change. Maybe communication has become harder, anxiety or stress is taking more of your energy, or you simply don't feel like yourself anymore. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin moving in a healthier direction.

I work with adults and couples who want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply while making meaningful, practical changes. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. Together, we'll look at the patterns that keep you stuck and develop new ways of responding so you can move toward healthier relationships and a more meaningful life.

Before becoming a full-time therapist, I spent more than 20 years serving in pastoral ministry. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for people's stories, struggles, and resilience. If faith is an important part of your life, I'm happy to incorporate it into our work together at your request. If it isn't, you'll receive the same respectful, evidence-based care.

Reaching out for therapy is a significant step. Whether you're looking to improve your relationships, better manage anxiety or depression, or simply gain clarity during a difficult season, I'd be honored to work alongside you.

I believe that effective therapy is both compassionate and practical. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop skills that lead to lasting change. Therapy isn't just about talking through problems—it's about creating meaningful progress in your daily life.

I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, including Restoration Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Depending on your goals, we may focus on understanding relationship patterns, developing healthier ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions, improving communication, or building resilience during life's challenges.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment where you feel heard without judgment. Together, we'll work toward goals that matter to you, at a pace that feels both supportive and productive.

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin making sense of what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about the challenges you're facing, what you've already tried, and what you hope will be different. I'll also ask about your personal history, relationships, and other parts of your life that may help us understand the bigger picture.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you come. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being honest about what's really going on. We'll move at a pace that feels right for you, while also working toward meaningful change. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and respected—not judged.

As we continue, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical ways to respond differently. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer sense of how I work, where we're headed, and how we'll work together toward the goals that matter most to you.
