My practice is a collaborative healing process where you can be your authentic self in a trusting, respectful environment. My priority is to build a safe, caring, validating space where you can be known and understood. It’s a privilege to build strong relationships and notice the positive effects that therapy can have on their lives. I use a systemic, collaborative, strengths-based therapeutic approach to help you through the challenges of life, connecting with your strengths to help learn new ways to live in wholeness.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in areas of play therapy, parent/child relationship, ADHD, Developmental disorders, Special Needs, Spirituality, Grief/loss, and pre-marriage counseling. I enjoy working with diverse clients. I offer integration of faith-based counseling if desired.
Your relationships matter, and so does your mental health. I believe it can be better than ever. It would be an honor to walk with you as you discover freedom and peace.
