Message from Therapist

Many times difficulties can cause us to feel stuck, but there is a path to propel ourselves forward. It may be hard to identify and navigate that path on our own. Oftentimes, it is helpful to have an unbiased opinion, a safe space, and professional help in order to move forward in life.

I am a Licensed Therapist with a passion to help people achieve greater freedom, whether that be improving communication skills, self empowerment, or healing past wounds. I assist each person in identifying individualized strategies to meet their goals. I specialize in helping adults who are hard on themselves to resolve inner conflict, find peace in the present, unlock the gift of who they are, improve relationship dynamics, and with future planning.

The outcome I desire for my clients is for them to develop a healthier relationship with themselves and others so they can live more fulfilling lives.I enjoy using evidence based modalities such as EMDR, ACT, DBT, CBT, IFS, and Faith Based Practices.

I’ve helped many people learn tools that are transformative. Whether you are experiencing grief, people pleasing, dissatisfaction, anxiety, insecurities, perfectionism, or other disturbances- I’d like to help you gain greater freedom and healing.
