I have extensive training and experience working with individuals & couples. I specialize in anxiety, couples' issues, breaking dysfunctional patterns, military members and their families, and young adults issues. The truth is, not every therapist is the right fit for you, which is why I offer a FREE consultation, to see if we would be a good fit!

Here is a snapshot of my typical clients and you can see if you relate: My young adults want a space where they can process anxiety or trauma, navigate relationships, and change dysfunctional patterns. My couples come because they feel disconnected and notice escalated conflict that they cannot seem to break out of or fix. They still want to stay in their relationship, but they feel more hopeless with each fight and miscommunication.

Therapy is a conversation that flows as we get to know each other more. I view myself as a collaborator with you to get to change. I am an expert on therapeutic change and you are an expert on your life. Therapy is us working together to figure out how you can process and think through things differently so you can create healthier and more beneficial alternatives that will better your mindset, relationships, and life. How we truly think and process our world, past experiences, identity, and faith reflects in how we act and behave.

In our first session, I will initially go over the paperwork signed and logistical details and ask if you have any questions. I will go through things to expect and what therapy will generally look like. I will ask about previous experiences with therapy, why you chose to come to therapy now, and your hopes and objectives for therapy.
