Great to meet you!

I've worked as a therapist for over 20 years. It is such an honor to be invited into people's vulnerable and hopeless places in their story. Through our work together I get to watch them learn, grow and overcome their obstacles to living well. It is such beautiful work!

I love working with clients who want to integrate their faith into the therapy process.

My approach to therapy

I listen for negative beliefs that have the client stuck and help them deconstruct those. People have believed negative "truths" about themselves for years and then have lived accordingly. For example: if a person believes that they are not enough, they won't reach for their dreams, but instead will expect to fail and so they do.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I will hear about where you came from - your family of origin because often that is where our negatives believes about self originated. Then I'll hear about your current presenting problem. I'll share how I work with clients and what you can expect. If we are a good fit for therapy, we'll set up our next appointment.
