Therapy can benefit us in many ways including feeling heard, growing in self awareness, and healing from adversity life throws at us. It is also a great place to learn compassion for oneself and empathy for others in your life.

As a therapist, I believe people are relational creatures.  We can thrive or suffer depending upon the quality of relationships in our lives.

While I do not impose my beliefs and values on my clients, I do let them know I am a Christian and open to discussion of their own faith and how it impacts their life.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.   I work with children and teens with a family approach, meaning that I will also work closely with the parents. I see parents as co-therapists since their relationship with their child is the most therapeutic and healing of all.

Additionally, I assist premarital couples navigate assessment and prevention measures before marriage. I can provide a customized assessment called PREPARE/ENRICH in which I have received certified training. This online assessment is optional and significantly aids in the preventative and therapeutic process for couples considering or planning for marriage. This assessment can also help married couples as well who need to better understand their specific strength and growth areas.

I consider myself eclectic and attachment oriented in my approach as a therapist. Most often I draw from CBT, Interpersonal, DBT, and Psychodynamic theories.  In working with couples, I gravitate toward Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).  I am trained in Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) and use this model most often in treating children or adolescents. Depending on a client’s presenting problem, personality, and attachment style, I determine which theory or approach that would best suit their needs.

If you decide I will be a good fit as therapist for you, I promise to provide a safe space and meet you exactly where you are in your life.
