There’s nothing like a good story.

Especially one that inspires and moves us to live out the purpose for which we were created. While certain kinds of individuals may come to mind when we use the word storyteller, the truth is that we are all storytellers. We are all saying something to the world with our lives…the way we act, the way we think, how we use our strength and abilities, the way we engage the struggles and challenges we encounter day to day. All of these things impact the message we share with others.

So, what’s your story?

Sometimes life can become dulled. You find yourself going through the motions. Experiencing relational conflict and avoiding difficult situations, you stuff your emotions, and get caught up in a cycle of negative self-talk, stuck and spiraling, going in circles.

At other times, life can be chaotic and overwhelming. You are struggling to maintain control, and metaphorically speaking, trying to hold all the balls under water. You exert lots of energy in the pursuit of people pleasing or trying to get it right or do everything perfectly, all while lacking a sense of identity and allowing your voice to be stifled.

Are you questioning your purpose, wondering if there’s more to life than this, and searching for significance?

I work with clients to help them gain clarity and focus in their current situations and lives. I collaborate with you to identify ways to engage and respond to life issues in the pursuit of wellness and with the understanding that, as one created in the image of God, you have great value and worth.

Building a solid and supportive therapeutic relationship in which you feel valued, seen and heard; meeting you right where you are and partnership is at the heart of my approach to therapy.

Together we will explore ways your past might be impacting your present so that you can be better informed in your life choices. We’ll identify the connection between thoughts, feeling, physical reactions, behaviors and environment with regards to challenging situations to help you make adjustments and move towards change; engage creative and expressive processes to help you connect with your emotions, reclaim your voice and cultivate a healthy expression of self.

More specifically, I utilize cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic, person-centered and narrative therapy techniques along with creative and expressive modalities. My clients and I have particularly enjoyed utilizing films as a means for exploration in therapy. Additionally, I work within a Christian framework to help individuals cultivate a strong sense of identity, improve emotional health and steward their lives and relationships in a manner consistent with principles and truths that align with the word of God.

Life at times can be incredibly messy. As one who has benefitted from the counseling process and who believes that journeying with others through life is an important aspect of my Christian faith, I welcome the opportunity to come alongside you.
