YOU ARE BRAVE…
…to reach out in the midst of your hurt, grief, or challenges.
I get it – we live in an imperfect world. I’m here to walk with you through your situation, and to help you find hope.
If you are struggling with depression, loss, or betrayal, we will create space for you to process, grieve, question, struggle, and find hope amidst healing.
If you’ve found yourself scrambling in the midst of anxiety, stress, personal challenges, or relationship dynamics, we’ll examine your mindset, deconstruct and reconstruct how you approach challenges, and create goals and a personalized plan that works for you.
If you feel stuck and need a jumpstart, let’s go.
Counseling is not easy, but it is worth it. It’s a team oriented process, and we work together in your journey.
Clients say that they appreciate my down to earth perspective on counseling, attunement to their needs, and practical tools. My approach includes a blend of cognitive behavioral strategies, solution focused concepts, narrative therapy, and reality therapies. While I approach life from a Christian worldview, I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds. Christian counseling can be integrated for those desiring it.
I’m committed to provide a safe place for you to work. My goal is to help you find hope and thrive. Contact me to arrange a time to meet online through secure video sessions.
