Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Do you find yourself feeling distressed or overwhelmed by anxiety or depression? Are you navigating the challenges of a chronic illness and feeling a lack of control over your body, or perhaps feeling misunderstood? Are you experiencing a significant life transition that has left you feeling uncertain? With personal experience in these areas, I recognize how it can feel as though life is unfolding around you while you stand in the midst, wondering, “What is happening?” While life has its beauty, it can also encompass various forms of grief and trauma, accompanied by complex feelings and emotions.
Choosing to pursue therapy is a significant step that requires courage. It is also one of the most rewarding choices you can make for your well-being. I am committed to accompanying you on your healing journey, offering a supportive, non-judgmental, and empathetic space where you can feel empowered to become the best version of yourself.
In our work together, I will customize my therapeutic approach to meet your individual needs, employing various modalities including EMDR, mindfulness-based strategies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Additionally, if you are interested in a Christian counseling perspective, I strongly believe in integrating theological principles with therapeutic theories.
