Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a therapy that helps you get to know the different parts of yourself—especially the ones that protect you and the ones that hold pain—so those parts can soften, heal, and work together, with the guidance of your true self.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It helps you identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop more balanced perspectives, and build practical coping strategies—so you can reduce distress, respond differently to challenges, and feel more in control of your day-to-day life.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious emotional patterns and early relational experiences that still shape how you feel, think, and relate to the others and the word around you. By making these patterns conscious and understood, you gain more freedom, self-awareness, and choice in the present.

  • What to Expect During Our First Session

    Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what's currently going on in your life, what concerns or challenges you're experiencing, and what you hope to gain from our work together.

    We'll also spend some time gathering background information about your history, relationships, health, and other areas that may be relevant to understanding your experiences. This helps me develop a clearer picture of who you are and how I can best support you.

    While we may begin discussing goals during this session, the first appointment is often focused on building a foundation for our work together. There is no pressure to share everything right away—this first meeting is simply a starting point. If therapy feels overwhelming, that's completely okay. My goal is to meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable, collaborative, and supportive.

    Above all, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we begin this process together.

  • While I offer Christian counseling and enjoy integrating faith into the therapeutic process when it is meaningful to a client, I believe therapy should always honor each person's unique beliefs, values, and worldview. Whether you identify as Christian, belong to another faith tradition, are questioning your beliefs, consider yourself spiritual but not religious, or have no spiritual or religious beliefs at all, you will be met with respect and without agenda. My role is not to impose beliefs, but to support you in exploring what is most meaningful to you. I work to create a space where your values and experiences guide the conversation, and where faith and spirituality can be incorporated, set aside, or explored with curiosity depending on your needs and goals.
