When facing an overwhelming emotional experience, so many people feel lost, isolated, and alone. Therapy, first and foremost, is a way to relieve that sense of aloneness and form a trusting, collaborative relationship with someone who accepts you. I welcome all clients regardless of their sexual orientations, preferences, practices, identities, and relationship styles. I work with couples, adolescents, individuals, and families looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and to cultivate curiosity, authenticity, self-compassion, and the ability to tolerate difficult feelings.I prioritize getting to know you and building trust, which sets the stage for honest self-exploration and collaborative problem-solving. I strive to create a safe, open, and warm atmosphere for individuals. I use a combination of cognitive behavior therapy, family systems therapy, Christian counseling, and Gottman interventions.We can work together in a secure and non-judgmental space to rewrite your narrative. Being a client of mine means that you will experience self-awareness and empowerment. You will feel better able to recognize triggers and manage emotional responses. In the long term, you will feel calmer, more peaceful, and in control of your life.
