Since college, I've been passionate about working with youth. I understand that when young people can process their negative experiences, they engage more positively with those around them and in their lives.

My goal is to help your child develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness, enabling them to express their feelings appropriately, process unresolved trauma, and build positive coping skills for future challenges.

For younger children, I utilize play therapy, which is the natural way they communicate.

With older children I may bring in age appropriate play therapy techniques, engage in DBT techniques or use EMDR. 

Life presents us with various challenges, and it's normal to need support navigating them. Whether you're dealing with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, or trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, I am here to help.

In a supportive and non-judgmental space, we can work together to understand and heal from your experiences. Counseling can help you develop new coping strategies, improve your relationships, and foster a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.

My hope is that, through our work together, you will confront and overcome the negative labels or beliefs you may hold, and leave with a clearer understanding of who you are, living authentically and confidently as who you were called and created to be.

Preparing for marriage is one of the most significant investments you can make in your future together. Research shows that couples who engage in premarital counseling have a 30% higher chance of marital success, significantly reducing the risk of divorce.

As a trained SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) facilitator, I am here to guide you through this important journey. Our premarital counseling sessions will cover essential topics to help build a strong foundation for your marriage, including:

✓ Communication Skills
✓ Financial Management
✓ Family Background
✓ Values and Beliefs
✓ Intimacy and Sex
✓ Roles and Responsibilities
✓ Conflict Resolution & more

I work from an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) perspective that sees our current behaviors and beliefs being triggered from past unprocessed experiences/memories. Once these experiences/memories are processed, we are freed to live in truth and behave from this new place. 

Our brains have an incredible ability to adapt and rewire themselves, known as neuroplasticity. This means that even deeply entrenched patterns of thinking and behavior can be altered with the right therapeutic interventions. One effective method that utilizes this capacity is EMDR.

The power of EMDR lies in its ability to leverage the brain's natural healing capabilities, fostering profound and lasting changes in clients' lives.
