My goal as your counselor is to help you feel safe to talk about the deepest things going on in your life. I will work collaboratively with you to help you grow into your life roles with fulfillment and joy. My aim is to help you gain a foundation of adaptive tools to help you reach your greatest potential in all areas of your life. 

 I offer a welcoming, transparent space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. I will spend our first session getting to know you and your background. I believe it’s so important to build trust and rapport, as no real work can be done unless there is trust and honesty. I will pace our sessions according to your needs and comfort level, seeking to reach your greatest potential without working on too much too soon. 

One major benefit to a Christian approach to counseling is that God is the Creator of the universe, including us! God has given us His instruction book, the Bible, which I believe supports so much of our psychological wellbeing. My faith informs my practice in everything I do. My foundational beliefs as a counselor align with the Word of God. I find so much affirmation in the Bible regarding our mental health and how to heal from trauma, pain, anxiety, depression, and so much more. To be able to search the Scriptures and the faith of Christianity with my clients alongside psychological counseling theories is the ultimate recipe for healing and living our most productive lives.
