I believe that to participate in formative therapy with a person is to see their heart. People carry burdens with them, and as we know, life can be heavy. But I believe that it is within clients’ trials that God reveals and can retrieve within us beautiful things, even when all seems lost.

My mission is to walk with my clients through their struggles toward peace and healing. I feel that everyone has a story worth hearing and that I can also learn a lot from my clients, just as they can from me.

I love working with parents, couples and children, I have experience working with clients through grief, abuse, traumatic experiences, divorce, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and depression. I utilize different modes of therapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. My faith informs my practice, so it will be a priority for me to validate the dignity of every person. If the client chooses, I can also implement faith into sessions.
