I consider it an honor and privilege to come alongside clients in the healing process. I tend to utilize a strength-based approach when working with teens and young adults,
often incorporating art therapy to make meaningful connections and facilitate a deeper sense of mindfulness. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
and am committed to helping clients process through significant and complex trauma to reduce distress and increase overall peace of mind. I have experience working with grief, anxiety, depression,
OCD, ADHD and addiction recovery. I offer Clients the opportunity to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process if desired.
I view all relationships through an attachment lens and find great joy in helping couples navigate the complexities and deep hurts within their relationship. My highest goal in couples counseling it to help create or restore safe, secure connections. To do so, I take an Emotionally Focused Therapeutic (EFT) approach when working with couples and families, as well as integrate boundary work when needed. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology and focusing on holistic health and wellness, I chose to change my career path and place much of my focus and attention in overall mental health and wellness. I then graduated from California Baptist University with a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology and look forward to continuing to grow as a mental health professional.
