Making the choice to seek help in overcoming hardships in your life can be one of the scariest and one of the most rewarding actions a person can take in their life. If you find yourself here, you may be considering a journey towards long-lasting and significant change. In each stage of life, there are unique challenges that can impact your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health. Lack of support, encouragement, or sense of community make these challenges unbearable. My role is to utilize my training to provide unconditional positive regard and safety when overcoming barriers and discovering effective solutions, together.
I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with connecting with those around them, recognizing their own needs, and setting boundaries. I partner alongside you to identify root causes to your symptoms and use evidenced-based strategies to achieve your goals. As a Christian therapist, I also utilize faith-based principles at your discretion.
Within any therapeutic work, it is important to feel that there is a connection from the beginning to reduce any barriers to rapport building and treatment. I am happy to offer a no-charge 15-minute consultation to make certain of a good fit for both parties. Reach out today and take that first step; I can’t wait to hear from you!
