Psychotherapist
Adlerian Psychology:
My foundational approach is using Adlerian Psychotherapy which focuses on applied use of encouragement, ensuring a sense of connectedness and challenging of mistaken beliefs/assumptions/attitudes/behaviors about self and association with their world view.
I started this next level career as a co-occurring substance use addiction counselor with a mental health focus in 2017. I transitioned to fully practice mental health therapy in 2021 working with adults who experience multiple concerns with diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, addiction to behavioral disorders and trauma using a person-centered approach. I apply an eclectic array of modalities such as Adlerian, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, ACT, Narrative Therapy as well as culturally responsive approaches that incorporate motivational interviewing techniques. I have a strong Christian faith, and I enjoy working with those of the same faith, and those of different faiths, and those who do not practice a religion or faith. Talk therapy is the traditional form of therapy most people think of when they talk about seeing a therapist. I work to help you find and address the root causes of your suffering, rather than to label and treat the symptoms alone; after all you’re more than just a label. In a relaxed atmosphere, I will work with you to address the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical imbalances that are causing you stress and discomfort. I believe that one’s emotional balance is important to every aspect of life and when it is off balance, getting the support to achieve balance is important. My goal as a therapist is having a listening ear, providing unconditional positive regard and most importantly empathy creates a unique and welcoming environment for those seeking these types of services.
I enjoy watching competitive television cooking programs, traveling, avid foodie, and watching all movie genres.
