Without help, life can become problematic and stressful to manage. I'd like to be of service by navigating difficult challenges, as well as to celebrate the successes that you may experience as a result of therapy. From helping those who suffer from trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, depression, anxiety, relational issues, defiance or opposition, identity issues, and more, my desire and goal is to build hope and to support you toward the actualization of your goals. As option for faith-based care, our work may integrate evidence-based psychotherapy with Biblical principles for spiritual growth and discipleship. If you are looking for a therapist who is empathetic, considerate of your needs, while also providing you with a gentle, but firm nudge toward accomplishing your goals, then I may be a resource to you. My experience includes working with youth and adults, as well as various family structures, who deal with a multitude of stressors. I am determined to be seen as an ally, guide, mentor, or coach in your network of support. If you feel prepared to take the next step towards your healing or growth journey, let's connect soon!
