- EMDR Trained TherapistCounseling is not easy, but it is worth it. It's a team oriented process, and we work together in your journey.
Clients say that they appreciate my down to earth perspective on counseling, attunement to their needs, and practical tools. My approach includes a blend of cognitive behavioral strategies, solution focused concepts, narrative therapy, EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, and reality therapies. While I approach life from a Christian worldview, I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds. Christian counseling can be integrated for those desiring it.
I'm committed to provide a safe place for you to work. My goal is to help you find hope and thrive.
