My approach allows me to provide comprehensive and compassionate support tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate faith and mental health from a Biblically-informed perspective, helping clients use spiritual resources and evidence-based clinical techniques to overcome life’s struggles. Understanding your identity in Christ is crucial for well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
For the past five years, I have utilized CBT to help clients address and reframe intrusive thoughts and manage anxiety. By exploring the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can challenge automatic negative thoughts and reduce stress and anxiety.
Couples Counseling
As a Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) Facilitator, I guide pre-engaged, engaged, and newly married couples through a premarital assessment. This process helps address finances, expectations, personalities, communication, and mindset, setting a strong foundation for marriage.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Over the past four years, I have employed DBT to enhance clients’ lives by improving distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach helps reduce anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-harming behaviors.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps couples strengthen their emotional bonds by understanding attachment styles, improving communication, identifying negative patterns, and building empathy. Through EFT, couples can create a safe space and enhance their relationship.
