My counseling style is warm, compassionate, empathetic, authentic, and engaging. I am a firm believer in establishing a good rapport with people and building a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe in and practice unconditional acceptance and encourage people to express themselves freely. My theoretical approach is integrated and tailored to meet each client’s needs. It combines a mixture of cognitive behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, Christian, trauma-focused CBT, mindfulness, and Gestalt therapies (to name a few treatment modalities).

Past clients have struggled with trauma, depression, PTSD, anxiety, social phobia, relational issues, vocational stress, family/marital conflict, anger/irritability, low self-worth, suicidality, and ADHD.

Clients appreciate my insight, wisdom, authenticity, genuine care, and concern. They each have gained insight into their pathologies and learned how to be more self-aware, mindful, insightful, emotionally self-regulated, and overall better equipped to handle/manage, and overcome any challenges that life presents.
