Exploring the Stories That Shape Us.
Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes we feel disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or simply unsure of the path forward. I believe that understanding our stories is the key to getting unstuck.
About Me
We live by the stories we tell ourselves.
Whether I am in the therapy room, buried in doctoral research, or writing at my desk, this is my conviction: we are narrative creatures. But sometimes, the script we are following no longer works. We get stuck in loops, trapped by old plots, or lost in the weeds of a story we didn't choose.
My work is dedicated to helping you edit that story.
I believe that even your most difficult behaviors or painful emotions make sense when viewed in context. They aren't just symptoms to be removed; they are parts of a story that needs to be understood before it can be rewritten. My role is not to be the "expert" who fixes you, but the partner who helps you read the map, get unstuck, and walk toward a life that feels honest and whole.
My Approach
Therapy should be a safe harbor, but it should also be a place of movement. My style is warm and empathetic, but grounded. I don't sit in judgment; I sit in curiosity.
As a doctoral student, I am constantly immersing myself in the latest clinical research. I don't rely on guesswork; I use robust, evidence-based frameworks—specifically Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
This academic rigor, combined with a background in theology, allows me to bring a deep, integrative approach to our sessions. Whether you are an individual navigating anxiety or deconstruction, or a couple looking to reconnect, we will build a space where you can be fully known.
