Great to meet you!

As a therapist, I take a client-centered, genuine, collaborative approach to the client’s needs and goals. I have over 19 years of experience with significant experience helping adult clients (18+) work through anxiety, mood disorders (depression/bipolar disorder), sexual addictions/offenses, trauma, grief/loss, men and women's issues, and general life stressors/transitions (work, relationships, parenting, etc).

My approach to therapy

I use an integrative therapy style which includes Behavioral, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Humanistic, Narrative, and Reality/Choice approaches to help clients achieve success. I have certification training in the following areas: neurological talk-based therapy for anxiety, grief and loss, and behavioral techniques for mood disorders. I also provide Christian counseling upon request.

What you can expect from me

Welcome! During our first meeting, you can expect a warm and safe environment. We will discuss your personal history and what you are currently experiencing to get a clear picture of how I can best support you. I will also address any questions you have regarding the therapy process. Together, we will begin to outline treatment goals and create a plan for future sessions.
