While I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, I primarily draw from a cognitive behavioral framework (CBT). This approach is based on the belief that meaningful change can happen when you begin to recognize and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. By developing more helpful, productive ways of responding to life’s challenges, you can move closer to the goals you’ve set and the life you want to live.
As a Christian, my faith is a central part of who I am and naturally influences the work I do. It shapes how I see the world and brings a deep sense of hope and compassion into my practice. I take care to respect each person’s individual beliefs and only incorporate faith-based perspectives into therapy if that’s something you’re interested in. That said, my faith gives me a foundational belief that change is possible, healing can happen, and what we see isn’t always all there is. It helps me stay grounded in hope and approach you and your story with compassion, curiosity, and care.
I work with adults ages 18 and older. Some of my areas of specialty include anxiety, stress management, perfectionism and overachieving, life transitions, relationship and communication challenges, boundary-setting, young adult issues, and pre-marital counseling.
