First session
In our first session, we'll start with introductions and then work together to assess the specific challenges you're facing. This collaborative process will help us identify your unique needs and create therapeutic goals that align with your values and aspirations. From there, we'll develop a personalized plan to guide us through the next steps in your journey toward healing and growth.
Strengths
As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly seen and heard. My greatest strengths lie in my ability to connect with people through authenticity, humor, and deep compassion. Clients often describe me as both relatable—like a trusted friend or favorite aunt—and effective, offering insights and tools that foster real growth and transformation. I have a strong ability to help clients get to the root of their struggles, uncovering underlying patterns and core beliefs that may be holding them back. Through thoughtful exploration and evidence-based techniques, I guide clients in gaining deeper self-awareness and developing practical strategies for lasting change. I believe that healing happens within a strong therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to walking alongside you with encouragement, honesty, and respect. It is an honor to support you on your journey toward greater clarity, resilience, and well-being.
Ideal clients
Like the words to one of my favorite songs, I believe there is a candle in every soul, some brightly burning, some dark and cold. If you are a woman who is feeling anxious, frustrated, confused, defeated, or unseen, you have come to the right place and I am here to support you.
Treatment methods
Christian Counseling
I am a Christian therapist committed to integrating faith with therapeutic practices to guide individuals who identify as Christian toward emotional healing and spiritual growth. Using biblical principles alongside evidence-based psychotherapy techniques, I provide a holistic approach to help clients navigate life’s challenges, find hope, and experience lasting transformation. My goal is to support clients in deepening their relationship with God while addressing mental health concerns in a compassionate and faith-centered way.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use components of CBT to help individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns, and build new coping skills that promote emotional well-being that leads to lasting change in how they approach life's challenges.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Using techniques found in DBT, I come alongside you to support you in building emotional resilience and improve interpersonal relationships. Through a structured but warm approach, I guide clients in developing skills for managing intense emotions, reducing self-destructive behaviors, and cultivating mindfulness. My goal is to support clients in creating balance and acceptance while empowering them to live a more fulfilling and emotionally stable life.
