I take an emotion focused approached and use an integrative style to meet the needs of my clients.  My go to methodologies include Christian Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused (EFT), Discernment Counseling, Behavioral Therapies (REBT, CPT, etc.) Solution Focused (SFBT), Gottman, and Strength Based.  At the heart of it, I take a Person-Centered approach in terms of meeting you where you’re at utilizing an integrative approach that works best with your presenting concerns and goals.  

​

What do you consider a success for your clients?

How does the work I put in and how I show up as a therapist relate to you?  Well, if you haven’t already picked up on it, I do emotions and relationship with individuals and couples.  Clients come to me to deal with highly emotional topics and to make empowering life changes.  They come highly motivated which I love and respect and there’s a connection regarding matching their dedication with mine.

 

People that find the most success with me are ready to put the work in, want someone that will match their motivation for change.  They find that they have a travel companion in their corner that brings, insight, clarity, and perspective.  They enjoy my thirst for growth and knowledge that I happily bring into the room as I raise their emotional, relationship, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligence and bring a level of intentionality that empowers them and has them looking at life with a different lens.  Metaphorically speaking together, we will take the baggage of the past and present and lay it all out.  We will sort through what you have been carrying, ask the tough questions as to why, gain clarity and understanding as to how it became part of your story, clean out and sometimes throw out what no longer serves you or your relationship(s).  Then we learn some new habits and skills to replace what was disregarded, learn new skills on how to practice self-love, self-compassion, process emotions, thoughts, and actions, have healthier relationships with others, heal and process the pains of the past, and learn how to rise strong in order to travel through life as the best and healthiest version of self.

"It takes a lot more courage to let something go than it does to hang on to it, trying to make it better.  Letting go doesn't mean ignoring a situation.  Letting go means accepting what is, exactly as it is, without fear, resistance, or a struggle for control." ~ Iyanla Vanzant.
