People often come to psychotherapy in search of more peace; to work through personal challenges and/or relieve pain from sources such as anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy, loss, or addiction. They may be struggling in their relationships or moving through a profound life transition. For some, their faith has been shaken in some significant way. Whatever the motivation might be for seeking professional help, I care deeply about assisting clients in gaining insight, education, self-awareness, and strength. Everyone has challenges. Working collaboratively, we can achieve the goals most desired for a healthier life. My approach takes into account biological science, culture, psychology, family context, and spiritual/religious considerations. I have had professional experience in a variety of settings; inpatient, private practice, community mental health, and academia. Psychological testing is also available for those seeking further diagnostic clarity/recommendations. Life is hard...and challenges are an inherent part of personal growth. But you needn't bear these struggles alone. I would be honored to assist you in addressing issues that could bring about more peace.
