My Approach

Welcome, I desire to create a safe space where you can come as you are without feeling judged, explore your true self, and shine a light on areas where you feel burdened. As a counseling intern and a follower of Christ, I am passionate about helping you gain freedom from lies and beliefs that weigh you down so that you can become the person you were created to be to live a full life.

​

I am practically minded and utilize a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for skill development. CBT aims to target negative thinking patterns affecting beliefs about who you are, as well as explore how these thoughts and beliefs affect your behaviors. DBT provides practical skills for intense emotions and emotion regulation.

 

Homework may be utilized to practice skills outside of counseling to target negative thoughts that affect the way you think about yourself and the world around you as well as help you develop new behaviors.

​

Additionally, I believe that our past and our stories are an integral part of who we are. Providing a space to share stories through Lifespand Integration Therapy and Narrative Therapy lifts the burdens of past traumas that so often weigh us down. Sharing these burdens also provides a space to rewrite the often negative narrative we have lived with and gain a fresh perspective bringing healing and redemption to our stories.
