Do you feel like no one truly knows you? Do you feel like if people knew the REAL you that you wouldn't be accepted or loved? Depression, shame, and anxiety are all common experiences as we reflect on our unwanted behavior, relational discord, past trauma, and family of origin. The motivation to change becomes all that much harder when you seek it out alone. You want to believe there is hope for a brighter day. Let's work together as we honor your resiliency and work towards healing because the question "what would you prefer?" is worth asking. You want to live a life of freedom. Let's boldly walk into that freedom together.
I am trained in EMDR trauma therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) for couples, and I am also working towards an advanced degree in theology. If you would like, I would be happy to offer a Christian-integrated approach to our sessions. My passion lies in helping others overcome past hurts, wounds, and traumas, whether as an individual or as a couple.
My hope for our partnership is that you experience the freedom to be yourself. I strive to create an environment where honesty might become second nature and where both laughter and tears are welcome to coexist. All of you is welcome here. Together, we will co-create a growth plan unique to you so that you can see the lasting change you desire.
