My goal in counseling is to create a warm therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe to be vulnerable with parts of your life you may be struggling with, or do not fully understand. My aim is to make you feel heard, understood, and respected as we walk together on your journey of discovering answers to the things you are struggling with. My work (along with everything else in my life) is influenced by Christian faith, and I desire to work with anyone who feels their faith should be a major aspect of treatment. However, I strongly value social, spiritual, economic, familial, and cultural diversity, and am eager to learn about your inner world and approach your issues with all of these holistic elements in mind. We will use a variety of treatment approaches during our time together. These may include Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Brainspotting, mindfulness/prayer, faith-based counseling, and family systems integration. 

Besides my clinical training, I bring a spirit of peace and humor to my work. I will take each small but significant step with you joyfully, bearing your burdens with you and celebrating small victories along the way toward growth. I look forward to getting to know you, encouraging you, and learning with you!
