My desire as your therapist is to partner with you on your journey to healing and wholeness. I do this by providing a safe and confidential environment in which we can do so. I am a creative professional, who will work to identify your unique self and goals, and will tailor your therapy to complement that distinctiveness within you.
I don't focus on pathology or diagnosis. I focus on strengths and potential. A diagnosis can be helpful insight, and I do take it into consideration, but I know that there is much more to a person than a label. Therefore, the type of therapy I provide is specialized and focused on you as an individual. Whether you are struggling with marriage or relationship issues, family conflict, parenting difficulties, or emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or trauma issues, I am here to help. My Christian faith is an important part of my life and I welcome the inclusion of faith in our partnership together if that is important to you. I have a relaxed style of interacting and relating with my clients, enabling a collaborative relationship to develop between us in a relatively short amount of time. |
