Great to meet you!

Taking the first steps to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage! I am here to help support you in that journey. With over 25 years of licensed professional experience, I've helped individuals and couples cope with and learn to manage stress, anxiety, depression, communication issues, relationship conflict, grief, and life transitions. My treatment approach is tailored to my client's goals, strengths, and preferences, encountered in a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. Additionally, for any clients who prefer a faith-based approach, I'm also trained in Christian counseling and can incorporate faith and spirituality as part of therapy.

My approach to therapy

I collaborate with you to help identify what matters most to you and your goals in therapy. I generally share resources to help you understand and practice skills that we discuss in our sessions. I tailor these resources to help you better put to use the strategies that you learn during our sessions.

What you can expect from me

I start out by sharing some personal information about myself and would invite you to do the same! I think the relationship we build and foster is very important to help you feel comfortable during our sessions, and plays a big part in helping you achieve your goals in therapy. I will then ask about what brings you to therapy and complete an evaluation. I will check in with you at the end of our first session to ask if you would like to move forward, and if so, invite you to schedule our next appointment.
