My Approach to Helping

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure of how to move forward, you're not alone, and you're in the right place. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, or self-doubt. They’ve tried to “just push through” but are now ready to slow down, unpack what’s been weighing on them, and heal.

As your therapist, I’ll meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I believe therapy should feel like a safe and judgment-free zone where you can explore your story, learn new tools, and begin to trust yourself again. My approach blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a warm, client-centered focus. I also offer faith-based counseling for those who want to integrate their beliefs into the healing process.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before starting therapy. Together, we’ll clarify what’s holding you back and take steady steps toward balance, connection, and lasting change. Healing is possible, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

More Info About My Practice

As a therapist, I offer a space where you don’t have to carry your pain alone. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, unresolved trauma, identity concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to support you without judgment. I understand that it takes courage to begin therapy, and I honor that step by helping you feel seen, heard, and valued from day one.
My sessions are a collaborative process. You bring your experiences, and I bring a grounded, compassionate approach to help you sort through them and move forward. We’ll work at your pace, challenge harmful beliefs, explore what matters most to you, and build practical tools for lasting change.

Healing isn’t about being “fixed”—it’s about feeling more connected to yourself, others, and your purpose. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and would be honored to walk with you toward clarity and growth.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

What I love most about being a psychotherapist is the privilege of walking alongside people as they find healing, strength, and renewed hope. There is something deeply meaningful about witnessing a person discover their voice, regain confidence, and realize they are not alone in what they?re facing.
Every client brings a unique story, and I am honored each time someone trusts me enough to share theirs. I don?t take that lightly. Whether we?re working through past trauma, untangling self-doubt, or building new patterns of growth, I find deep purpose in being part of that process.
Seeing clients grow into who they were always meant to be, more self-aware, resilient, empowered, and is incredibly rewarding. That transformation, even in the smallest steps, is what keeps me passionate and grateful every single day.

My Role as a Therapist

My role as a therapist is to be a trusted partner in your healing and growth journey. I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. Whether you're processing past trauma, navigating relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck in life, I?m here to help you feel understood and empowered.
Together, we?ll uncover the patterns that no longer serve you, develop healthier coping strategies, and build on your strengths. I aim to walk alongside you with both empathy and clinical insight?encouraging growth, challenging self-limiting beliefs, and celebrating progress, no matter how small. Therapy is not about fixing you?it's about helping you reconnect with your authentic self and create the life you deserve.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

It?s completely normal to feel uncertain, nervous, or even skeptical about starting therapy, especially if it?s your first time. Many people worry about being judged, not knowing what to say, or feeling exposed. I want you to know that therapy is a space designed for you, at your pace, and on your terms.
You don?t need to have all the answers or be in crisis to begin. Our first few sessions are about building trust, getting to know your story, and identifying what you hope to get out of this experience. I?m not here to analyze or ?fix? you, I?m here to listen, guide, support, and help you make sense of what you?re going through.
Your feelings, your pace, and your comfort matter deeply in this process. Therapy isn?t about perfection?it?s about progress, self-discovery, and learning how to navigate life?s challenges with more clarity and strength.
