Great to meet you!

With 18 years of therapy experience, I provide evidence-based interventions for individuals and relationships struggling with life's stressors. Our work will activate your values building meaning and purpose. We can explore family history, unhelpful thinking patterns, and process difficult emotions.

My approach to therapy

I provide structured, evidence-based psychotherapy to cope with and overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use concerns. My approach focuses building meaning and purpose grounded in your values to support sustained change. For those who request it, faith can be thoughtfully incorporated as part of the therapeutic process.

What you can expect from me

I strive to help those that are motivated for change but unsure how to break patterns that are not useful or even harmful. Your first session will involve building trust and connection while finding out what is important to you regarding growth and change in your life and relationships.
