You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. -Maya Angelou
When life takes unexpected turns, it’s easy to feel stuck or unsure how to move forward. I’m here to help. I work with adults experiencing grief and loss, marital or relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, addiction, moral injury, and trauma. For over ten years, I’ve also served as a Christian lay counselor, and I currently work with military veterans in both inpatient and outpatient settings addressing substance use and a range of mental health concerns.
Every individual’s story is unique, and your therapy should reflect that. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and traditional talk therapy. These methods can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, change self-defeating behaviors, and clarify your goals for personal growth.
With a blend of professional training, personal experience, and genuine compassion, I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore, heal, and move beyond the points where you feel stuck. I especially enjoy working with clients who are motivated to better understand themselves and are open to developing new strategies for lasting, positive change.
