"Not Your Typical Psychotherapist" Ready to face your problems head-on? If you're tired of sugar-coated therapy that doesn't get to the heart of the matter, I'm here to call it like it is. No fluff, no pretending. Just straight talk, deep dives, and real healing. I'll challenge you to do the work, to face the parts of you that are messy, broken, and in pain. But I'll be there every step of the way, with compassion, empathy, and a no-judgment zone. You'll have to show up for yourself—no one can do that for you—but I'll be right by your side, pushing you to be the best version of you, no matter how tough it gets. This isn't about easy answers. This is about transformation. And if you're ready to dive in, I'm ready to go there with you. Let's make it happen.

I am a Christian and I enjoy utilizing scripture to help individuals achieve wellness that will lead to greatness. I have experience with implementing bible plans in treatment to help individuals address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and purpose. I created a Christian mental wellness journal titled, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts. The journal teaches the skills of utilizing scripture and taking thoughts captive to control and manage thinking patterns. The journal introduces a technique called prayerful thoughts. Prayerful thoughts are thoughts rooted in scripture. The journal encourages the reader to challenge unhealthy thoughts with scripture and replace unhealthy thoughts with prayerful thoughts.
