Relationship Issues

Our lives are determined by the quality of our relationships. When our relationships are a constant source of our pain, it can feel like the quality of our life isn’t at its fullest. Communication is a huge component of how we cultivate safety in relationships. I aim to create an environment in therapy where you feel safe to communicate your feelings, expectations, and needs so you can practice these tools in your own relationships as well.

Trauma

Trauma can feel like a big, scary thing to tackle, but really it’s all about acknowledging how your trauma has impacted your life and healing from the places it has caused pain. I aim to provide an environment in which my clients can acknowledge and heal the pain from their trauma. There are so many different techniques and skills that go into healing these parts of your life. As your therapist, I hope you gain the skills needed to heal while giving yourself some grace, realizing the recovery process likely won’t happen overnight.

Anxiety

I believe everyone struggles with anxious thoughts and behaviors. However, how we interact with our anxiety will determine whether or not it affects our life negatively or positively. As your therapist, I will provide skills and tools to help you regulate emotions and identify and understand core thoughts and beliefs that may contribute to your anxiety. I want you to be able to process through your anxiety so you can use it as a strength and not a limitation to your life.

Personal Development

I believe growth is a huge part of life and we can either resist it or embrace it. As your therapist, I want you to grow and develop into the person God calls you to be. My hope is for therapy to be a place you know you can grow without judgment and in full transparency. You will be challenged and it might hurt before it helps, but it is where you know you will become the best version of yourself for your family, friends, career, etc.

Chemical Dependency (Substance Use Issues)

Dependency on anything is saying this “thing” has more power over me than I have over it. My role as your therapist would be to gain your power back through releasing the control that substances or other specific things have on your life. My goal for you would be to learn to depend on God and your power in Him to overcome the temptation to use these substances as a form of healing or distraction from healing. You can’t heal what is hidden behind the use of things or substances. Let’s pursue healing so dependency is no longer an issue in your life.
