Everyone experiences times of difficulty at various points throughout their life, but going through those experiences and feelings is something no one should have to go through alone.

When someone comes to therapy, they should feel heard and validated. Therapy is a collaborative process and I want to create a safe and collaborative space for you to process the situation you are facing and develop a plan for personal growth. I approach therapy through a joint effort and person-centered lens by listening to your unique experiences and strengths. In my office, my role as a therapist is to help hold what you feel ready to bring to the session and meet you where you are.

When working with me, you can expect a curious and compassionate provider. I aim to provide a space to set healthy boundaries, build self-esteem, foster new changes and ideas, and self-discovery. I am active in sessions, listen attentively, and am respectfully directive when needed. My role as a therapist is to bring new insights, identify strengths, clarify goals, and assist in exploring new skills.

As a Christian and follower of Jesus Christ, I welcome faith integration into counseling, always respecting what you are comfortable with.
