My Approach to Therapy

When we find ourselves at a low point in life, it can be hard to know how to move forward. If you want to feel more connected with a loved one, restore broken relationships, find more meaning in life, or learn more about yourself, you are in the right place. I work with individuals, couples, and families to address communication, relational conflict, depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, low self-esteem, and other concerns you may have. As your therapist, I want to work alongside you to identify goals and remove any obstacles that are keeping you from reaching them. I utilize a combination of techniques to support my clients. These techniques include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed therapies, systems theory, and the Gottman Method. My approach to therapy is client-centered and tailored to your individual needs and goals. Our therapy sessions will be compassionate and a place for growth, exploration, and change. For clients who are open to Christian counseling, I also find it helpful to explore faith as an important part of the healing and change process.

My Practice & Services

We called ourselves “InProcess Counseling” because we believe human beings are always learning, growing, and changing. Every one of us is still in process, and we always will be. So, no matter where you are on life’s journey, we’re here for you. Warm and welcoming, we focus on our clients’ journeys, providing connection, professional guidance, and empowerment. Still in process? You’re in good company.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

I seek to be client-centered first and foremost so my clients can always know that they have a voice in therapy. I don't utilize a "one size fits all" approach because I want therapy to be flexible and able to adapt to my client's needs. I always hope that client's find my therapy sessions to be compassion filled, judgement free places to explore, grow, and change.
