Great to meet you!

Trauma Certified - Person Centered Therapy Certified Therapist: Welcome, and thank you for considering starting your healing journey. Using a solution-focused, trauma-informed approach, I help clients manage stressors and achieve personal goals.

With over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I assist in identifying and addressing negative patterns and promoting emotional and spiritual growth. My training includes person-centered therapy, internal family systems, trauma, and spiritually based counseling. Clients lead their own treatment plans for lasting success. If preferred, I offer practical, goal-oriented methods as alternatives to spiritual counseling.

My approach to therapy

The approach to therapy that I embrace is a very solutions focus/goal-oriented approach. I want you to get better and quickly as possible.

What you can expect from me

The first session is about getting to know you and your situation.
