“Real change requires you to change your behavior-not just your attitude. We like to think we react to the world as it is, when really we react to a world that exists in our own minds. This inner world is so powerful, it overwhelms our ability to see reality.”
Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken it’s about understanding the patterns we’ve developed over a lifetime to cope, stay safe, or find comfort. These behaviors may have once protected us, but when they stop serving us, we begin to feel stuck. In therapy, we gently examine those patterns and begin a process of small, meaningful shifts through perspective, mindfulness, and self-compassion.
So often, we tie our worth to achievement or how others perceive us. But in this space, we make room for something deeper. We explore the parts of you that don’t need to hustle for worthiness the values that ground you, the stories that shaped you, and the quiet strength that’s been with you all along. This is your invitation to reconnect, reclaim, and rediscover the heart of who you are.
Individual Therapy
I work with individuals and families experiencing anxiety, understanding it as the body’s natural response to perceived threats activating fight, flight, or freeze reactions. Anxiety often arises from anticipating danger, even when the threat isn’t immediate. Together, we explore these patterns and develop tools to help clients regulate their nervous system, build resilience, and find calm amidst uncertainty.
Anxiety
I support individuals and families navigating depression, recognizing how feelings of disconnection, isolation, and questioning purpose often intensify it. Together, we create a safe space to explore these experiences and gently uncover old patterns that no longer serve. Through this work, clients cultivate new ways of relating to themselves and others fostering hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of meaning and connection.
Depression
Grief holds a painful tension: we don’t want to feel this way, yet we don’t want to move away from what we have lost. We are stuck in this place in time. No two people grieve the same way, and there’s no “right” timeline. In therapy, we create space to honor your unique experience without rushing or minimizing it. Together, we’ll explore how to carry your grief with care, find meaning in what remains, and move forward without letting go of what matters most.
Grief
Faith surrounds the core of who we are; it is the strongest and sometimes most vulnerable part ourselves. The imperfect actions of people in a sin-cursed world can affect that intently strong segment of who we thought we were. My first love has been God's Church and its mission to bring about God's Love and Justice in the world by loving our neighbor as ourselves and loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. While this is my background, I recognize that it is not the background of all seeking assistance or a focus of faith within therapy. I have spent a majority of my life providing counsel and pastoral presence surrounding the aspects of faith that we each will struggle with. This, partnered with a clinical approach, allows us the unique opportunity to approach the soul, mind, and reaffirm our strength.
Faith
Life transitions often bring shifting roles or expectations from the outcomes of our intentions that can leave us questioning who we are. These can include a career change, relationship shift/loss not being fulfilled in general. These changes can stir up anxiety, grief, or a loss of direction. In therapy, we create space to explore these shifts with honesty and compassion, helping you reconnect with your values, clarify your identity, and move forward with greater intention and self-understanding.
Life Transitions
“No regrets doesn’t mean living with courage, it means living without reflection. To live without regret is to believe that you have nothing to learn, no amends to make, and no opportunity to be braver with your life. Regrets are a crucial part of living a fulfilled like, much like failure is. ”
Many men grow up learning to suppress the full range of their emotions taught, often implicitly, that silence or anger is safer than vulnerability. But unspoken stress, confusion, and pain don’t disappear; they often resurface as irritability, distance, or a sense of disconnection.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and tune into what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll work together to better understand your emotional patterns, reconnect with your values, and build tools for more authentic relationships—with yourself and others. Whether you're navigating identity, stress, or relationship challenges, you don’t have to do it alone.

“Women hold up half the sky” and they deserve to be held with that same reverence. Yet so often, women carry the invisible weight of constant pressure and judgment for what they do or don’t do, who they are or aren’t. The definition of success is always shifting, and comparison can cause even the strongest parts of you to feel uncertain. You’re expected to hold everything together while remaining kind, composed, and quiet.
This is a space to step outside those expectations. To reconnect with what you need. To reclaim or perhaps discover your voice. And to move through life with greater clarity, strength, and self-trust.
