As a licensed therapist and counselor educator, I am passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of life and relationships. With a focus on relational issues, identity development, life transitions, and body image concerns, I create a compassionate and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain deeper self-awareness, and work towards meaningful change.
In my work with individuals I provide support and clarity in navigating major life transitions, whether it's adjusting to new roles, family dynamics, managing career changes, or processing personal growth. I believe that identity is shaped through our relationships and life experiences, and I work with clients to explore their values and beliefs, helping them gain clarity and confidence in who they are. n my work with couples, I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their emotional connection.
For those facing challenges related to their bodies, I offer compassionate support in understanding the underlying issues and working towards a focus on body functionality rather than body image. My approach is holistic, taking into consideration not only the mind but the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
For clients who seek it, I also offer faith-based counseling, integrating the Christian perspectives into the therapeutic process to provide a more personalized and meaningful journey. Whether you're working through relational difficulties, seeking deeper understanding of yourself, or navigating a life change, I am here to support you in your journey toward healing and growth.
