I’m a licensed professional counselor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I work with adults dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, and patterns that seem difficult to change. I’m especially interested in helping people better understand how their emotions, experiences, and relationships influence one another. Faith and spirituality can also be included when they are important to you.
My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and relationship-focused. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. Together, we'll identify what keeps happening, understand what is underneath it, and develop realistic ways of responding differently.
Our first sessions focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, the important relationships and experiences that have shaped you, and what you would like to be different. You can expect thoughtful questions, honest feedback, curiosity, and practical direction. You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin.
