Meaningful change doesn’t happen by accident. It develops through understanding the patterns that keep us stuck, learning new ways of responding, and applying those skills over time. My approach to therapy is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based treatments that help clients create lasting changes in their lives. I work with adolescents (13+), adults, couples, and families from a wide variety of backgrounds and life stages. I have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Prolonged Exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I also support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, chronic illness, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I believe effective therapy takes the whole person into account, including their faith, spirituality, and personal values when those are important to them. I'm equally comfortable helping clients integrate their Christian faith into counseling, process painful experiences with religion, explore questions about meaning, purpose, and their own beliefs, or honor their preference to leave spirituality out of counseling entirely. My approach is always clinically grounded and evidence-based, with each client's individual values and goals guiding the work we do together. I want my clients to feel genuinely understood and accepted without judgment, while also knowing that we're working together toward their goals. My approach combines compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies to help clients move beyond patterns that keep them stuck. I especially enjoy working with individuals who appreciate a collaborative, practical, and goal-oriented approach to therapy, including adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and family or relationship challenges, as well as individuals seeking specialized treatment for PTSD and trauma. Therapy isn't about having all the answers or making progress overnight. Growth often happens one intentional step at a time. If you're ready to do the work of building a stronger foundation for lasting growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
