I have always found myself leaning into issues of mental health and injustice throughout my life. As I have experienced people speaking hope and love into my life I have found my gifts and have sought to use them to give that same love and hope to others. Finding a place of purpose in counseling inspires me to sit with people in hard places and help them navigate with grace a pathway out.

I work best with most people who are ready to tackle their concerns. I want to not only give you a space to process but also to begin to feel better and make changes in your life and situation in a practical way.

Therapy is not weakness. It is a place to find your strength again so you can continue to be who you need to be for yourself and others. It is comparable to a lab where you learn and try things out. You then try them out in your world and then we make changes as needed. It is a practical place of change.

We will seek to better understand what is going on in your life and will seek to begin to plan for how things will go in our times together. I also want you to be asking questions of me and ensuring there is a connection and an environment that is open to you and your concerns. I seek to put you at ease from the start of this process. 

I, as most people, have worked through varying situations in my life and that is what connects us as humans. We are all just seeking to do our best and I never ask someone in my office to do anything that I am also not willing to do for my own health and wellness. I want to practice what I preach. I find my hope in God and know He has gifted me with the skills to help others.

Therapy is more about you than it is about me. We need to have a connection and we will start building that from the first session but the work is about you and your concerns most importantly. I work to make this work about your needs and your goals. I use varying approaches to help give you tools and techniques to grow, not just a cookie cutter approach.
