As your therapist, my hope is to provide empowerment, education, and encouragement to build on your existing strengths. Within a comfortable and trusting environment, we can begin to break down barriers and faulty beliefs that hold you back. We will work towards new ways of thinking in order to move you forward to a place of hope and healing.​

While it is important to me to offer an individualized experience, I practice from an Adlerian approach and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy techniques. Primary goals are understanding how the past influences the present, addressing unresolved issues, and creating solutions to overcome current challenges.

Self-care is a critical component in establishing a fulfilled self.  When not practicing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, worshiping at church, salt water fishing, traveling, and exercising. These are just a few of the activities that help me in sustaining a healthy and fulfilled self.​​​
