In my occupation as a social worker and therapist, I am passionate about seeing individuals step into living a healthy, whole life and finding the abundant life Jesus promises in John 10:10. My experiences in life have prepared me to work with individuals as an empathetic listener. I strive to deliver individualized, high quality, evidence based treatment. My treatment approach is personal and integrative, in that I may integrate complementary interventions in thoughtful and intentional ways to help you make sustainable changes that will help you reach your goals.
My therapeutic approach often includes, but is not limited to, principles of CBT, ACT, REBT, 12-step model, motivational interviewing. I also use faith based interventions for those who desire this to be a focus of treatment. While I am passionate about working with and connecting clients to, and integrating their spirituality and faith into their recovery, I do recognize and support their right to decline this aspect in counseling.
Though I have broad clinical interests, I have extensive experience in the areas of life guidance, addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, adolescent development, abuse and neglect, suicide prevention and intervention, grief and loss, spiritual crisis and exploration, adjustment disorder, trauma, healthy relationship skills, and family recovery dynamics.
Through our work together, I hope to help you live a more fulfilling, values-consistent life. I look forward to collaborating with you and I value your willingness to share and participate in the therapeutic process.
