My Journey to Becoming a Therapist…
Something that brings me great joy is listening. When someone shares a story that encapsulates part of who they are I feel incredibly honored. I’ve always been curious about what makes people who they are, their stories, relationships, experiences, and the things they carry beneath the surface. I believe there is something powerful about being truly seen and hear by another person.
I’ve always felt a heaviness build within myself when I couldn't express my inner experience, and I’ve seen the same heaviness build in loved ones. This bottling of stress wears on us psychologically and physically. Expressing inner turmoil offers both relief and room for connection.
I became a counselor to be a listener. I strive to create space for my clients to feel safe enough to share who they are and what they are experiencing.
When I am not doing therapy...
I love the feeling of awe, so in my freetime, I go out and find it! I love to spend time marveling at the mountains, experiencing new foods, or soaking in the sun on a walk. Being outdoors helps me slow down and pay attention to the beauty around me.
I also love spending time with the people I’m closest to, exploring new places, traveling, and making memories.
It takes courage.
Having the courage to reach out for therapy is a big step. And once you decide you’re ready, searching through pages of therapist can feel overwhelming enough to make you wonder if it’s worth it.
I recognize how vulnerable this can feel, and I want you to know what it’s like to work with me.
As a counselor, I aim to support my clients as they pursue mental and emotional health. This includes taking inventory of their whole life and identifying areas that could benefit from a little attention. Feeling grounded and healthy is a feeling worth pursuing.
I offer Christian counseling to believers who are seeking a Biblical perspective towards their mental health. We often get caught up viewing ourselves how the world views us, and we need a little help returning to the truths about ourselves, the world, and others that we can find in Scripture. During Christian counseling, I use a Biblical lens to support your emotional and psychological healing.
In addition to the traditional in-office setting, I offer outdoor counseling. During outdoor counseling, we take the therapy session to an open space, hiking trail, or walking path! These sessions can look like walking and talking, engaging in mindfulness activities, or learning how to harness the numerous mental health benefits provided by nature.
Your story is worth holding space for, and I hope you reach out to get started in therapy.
Your body is beautifully designed and all aspects of your being are interrelated. Let’s explore what you are experiencing from a whole-person approach.
Therapy isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about feeling more like yourself again.
You may begin to notice that the things that once felt overwhelming don’t have quite the same hold on you. You have more space to respond instead of react, more clarity about what you need, and more confidence in your ability to navigate the changes.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can say the things you’ve been afraid to say out loud without judgement or shame.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you come. We’ll start where you are and work from there together.
What to Expect
Initially, we will have a consultation call to see if we are a good match for working together. We will discuss the reasons you’re reaching out at this time, your current challenges, and your objectives for therapy.
During the intake session, you will discuss your desired goals and outcomes for therapy, and I will outline approaches to help achieve them. I regard the therapeutic relationship as a sacred space.
I aim to create an environment where clients can freely express themselves in each session. Therapy must encompass seriousness while also allowing moments of laughter. Therapy is a journey filled with ups and downs, and every individual deserves guided support for a fulfilling experience.
Each person has a unique story worth sharing and the potential to be rewritten. Sessions are client-focused, and I strive to be flexible and creative in tailoring the experience to your needs and desires. The goal is to collaborate strategically to help you grow and thrive in your life.
Healing that lasts.
You’ve spent a lot of time taking care of everyone else. This can be a place where you don’t have to hold it all together. You don’t have to spend the rest of your life managing the same patterns, the same shame, or wondering why certain things still feel so hard.
I will intentionally and respectfully hold space for you to talk through what’s happening in your life. I’ll offer an empathetic outside perspective, ask thoughtful questions, and encourage you as you work toward greater personal and relational wellness. You don’t have to have it all figured out before you walk through the door.
Motherhood and seasons of transition have a way of bringing old wounds, beliefs, and questions to the surface. I believe lasting healing comes from understanding what you’re experiencing, not simply learning how to cope with what’s happening on the surface. Together, we can make sense of your story, create space for something different, and explore what it looks like to move forward with greater hope.
My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I draw from Person-Centered, Polyvagal Theory, Mindfulness, Art Incorporation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Walk and Talk Nature Therapy.
You don’t have to walk through this season alone. If you’re ready for a place to be seen, heard, encouraged and supported, I’d love to connect with you.
