My Heart

There are times in life when circumstances become too difficult to manage or our thoughts and feelings too painful to face alone. Sometimes, friends and family may not be the best support, nor our spouse, all of whom may have the best intentions. No matter how old we are, the struggles are very real. Choosing to seek and accept help can be daunting, frustrating, and even scary, but it can also be empowering, encouraging, and motivating. Growth and change are possible even in the midst of crushing situations and agonizing feelings. You will receive non-judgmental support as you reflect on your life, hurts, and ways you decide to embrace change.

My hope and objective are to help bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be through evaluating your goals and choices. Then we can work to shift your focus and gain the strength you need to grow, as you embrace the healing you need to keep moving forward.

My Approach

We are made of soul, mind, and body with every experience and feeling working to shape our being. Some events can cause an imbalance in one of those parts, causing shifts greater than we can correct easily or on our own. The process for counseling I promote is to develop an individualized treatment plan that identifies the needs and goals of each client and then
emphasizes a holistic, collaborative approach to reach them. Though I am partial to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I also facilitate other evidence-based techniques as appropriate. I am also certified in Faith-Based ACT for those seeking integrative Christian counseling. Ultimately, any method used is client-centered.

What You Can Expect

Effective counseling occurs when a trusting relationship can be built between the therapist and the client. That connection helps to foster growth, through empowering and emboldening steps toward change. As you allow me to walk you through those steps, we will explore feelings, emotions, experiences, thoughts, and past and present influences as they relate to your need for
counseling. I will not say this process is easy or without discomfort. However, I will say it can be life-altering and incredibly rewarding to be free from the weight of shame, anger, guilt, or anything else that is not best for you. Attaining stability, clarity, and peace will help build the bridge for your long-term health in all ways – soul, mind, and body. I will walk with you as you
achieve your desire for focus, strength, and healing.
