I approach therapy with a strong emphasis on how you care for yourself and show up in relationships. I want us to better understand how you see yourself and other people. I believe every dysfunctional thought, behavior, or belief begins to make perfect sense when we understand it in the context of your lived story. I want to help you organize your experience so it can become a tool for your growth.

I am trained in Emotion Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). Whether you are struggling to feel, are overwhelmed by feelings, have difficulty in relationships, or experienced trauma (including sexual) – EFIT is a wonderful resource for us to utilize. We will identify key moments and people – positive and negative – that have been pivotal in your life in shaping who you are today. I will invite us to explore those together. None of us will revisit difficult memories alone – let’s do it slowly and do it together at a pace that is comfortable for you. I may also draw upon creative arts, mind-body connection, and your faith orientation to help resource and strengthen you as we work together. If you’re a Christian and/or in ministry, I can integrate Biblical principles if you prefer. I am full of hope that we will discover how you can have a richer, more peaceful, and more purposeful life.
