Are you wrestling with mental health and faith? How do you bring faith into conquering anxiety? You want more than just symptom relief; you seek to cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace and emotional resilience that harmonizes with your faith. There's more to mental health than just "praying it away". I offer a compassionate, faith-integrated approach to counseling that focuses on both practical strategies and spiritual guidance. I also love working with those with different faith backgrounds.

I know what it's like to experience grief and loss. Sometimes you want someone to reminisce with and other times you just want someone to sit in the pain with you. I feel honored to walk with my clients experiencing grief or loss of any kind. Maybe you lost a loved one and the pain is so heavy you don't know what to do with it. Maybe you're grieving a part of your past or the effects trauma has had on you. Whatever grief you're facing, I'm here to walk through it with you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety that invades your everyday life? Maybe you're noticing physical symptoms of anxiety that you can't calm down. I love providing my clients with practical tools and tips that they can use in their everyday life to help calm their bodies and retrain their nervous systems. I also love helping my clients with anxiety by helping them untangle that anxiety web-- what could be the root of it? Where and when did it start? Relief is possible!

Humanistic therapy is at the heart of my work with clients. It's a foundation of equality, one where we collaborate to explore your concerns and work through them together. This modality really emphasizes getting to know yourself and how your experiences have brought you to where you are today. There is never judgment in my counseling room. I will always meet you with empathy, compassion, and warmth as I help you identify patterns and understand yourself and your life better.

One of the ways I help clients learn more about themselves is to explore the different parts of themselves. Have you ever noticed that you feel internally conflicted? Do some parts of yourself feel misunderstood or shoved down? I use IFS, or Parts Work, to help you get to know the different parts of yourself that come with their own emotions and perspectives. All of those parts make up the whole you and my goal is to bring those parts to your awareness and help you grow in self-compassion.

CBT is a modality I use to help my clients identify negative thought patterns, regulate their emotions, and interrupt negative cycles. I use it to help you reframe those negative or automatic thoughts into something that feels more true or helpful. I love using this to help you get unstuck. I also use this intervention to compassionately challenge you at times, to help you consider alternative perspectives, and grow in self-awareness.
