Great to meet you!

I am a dedicated and highly passionate mental health counselor who helps my clients and couples find direction, uncover their potential, and lead more meaningful, happier lives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am skilled in building rapport and using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In my practice, I use Trauma-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered, DBT, EMDR, Career Counseling, Solution-Focused Reality, Bible-based principles, and Existential approaches. I believe in recovery, not simply coping strategies, which makes my interventions practical and helpful. I am also trained to provide biblical guidance and teach God’s principles to those seeking more than clinical treatment.

What you can expect from our first session

Feeling irritable, exhausted, and unfocused during difficult times is entirely understandable. When your mind is clouded with worries about the future – whether that’s fear of losing your job, your kids, your marriage, or anything else – the anxiety can quickly overwhelm you. Constantly pondering what might go wrong creates a heavy dread that disrupts your peace and robs you of restful sleep. Instead of restoring your mind and body, nights become a time when you replay past events and scenarios. It’s utterly exhausting. You know you can’t go on like this, but you’re not sure how to make a change that lasts.

That’s where I come in. I’ll help you deal with the anxiety and the emotions keeping you from living a whole life and being your best self. We’ll explore and address the problems beneath the anxiety so you can have lasting peace. I’ll also give you tools, resources, and relaxation techniques to help you cope during the hard times when anxiety rears its head.

It’s time for a transformative mental breakthrough. Let’s summon your power and use it to get rid of anxiety for good. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey. I’m here to support you every step of the way. You deserve freedom and a whole life. Reach out today for a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Trust me: Your future self will thank you!
