About
There are many obstacles our minds get stuck in that keep us from thriving. These obstacles include anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, marital issues and more. I aspire to hear how these barriers are impacting you and assist you in better understanding emotions surrounding these challenges. I want to help you feel what it is like to flourish all the time. Together we will explore the unhelpful beliefs motivating unpleasant feelings and how they can shift to more gratifying beliefs and feelings. We'll also give voice to your emotions and help you comprehend how all of your emotions work together for your good. We'll identify patterns setting back your relationships and uncover solutions for the future. I would appreciate the opportunity to attend to what's troubling you and am available to see you online or in person. You are worthy to be heard and I am grateful to be the therapist alongside your journey. Specialties: I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, addictions, anxiety, and relationship challenges. Using IFS, EFT, mindfulness, and optional faith-based principles, we create a plan tailored to your needs. You can expect greater emotional awareness, healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and increased personal resilience." Credentials & Experience: With over 10 years of experience helping adolescents and adults thrive, I bring both clinical training and compassionate care as an Associate Professional Counselor (APC).
"I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients better understand themselves, manage emotions, and improve relationships. For those who want it, I also bring faith-based principles into our work to support personal growth."
