Specialties
I combine psychological principles with Christian teachings to help you from a faith-based perspective to cope with, and overcome threats to your mental health and well-being. Our specific approach toward your therapy will depend on your preferences, needs, and the severity of your circumstances.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach with good therapy. The effectiveness of therapy also depends largely on your commitment, active participation, and willingness to apply the strategies learned in our sessions to your daily life. If you’re considering therapy for anxiety, please schedule a free consultation with me today. Therapy can provide valuable tools and strategies for managing mental health and improving overall well-being.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural and normal human response to stress or perceived threats. It’s a feeling of unease, worry, or fear that can range from mild to severe. While anxiety is a common emotional experience, it becomes a concern when it starts to interfere with daily life, functioning, and overall well-being. It can manifest in both physical and psychological ways.
Therapy can be highly effective in helping you understand, manage, and overcome anxious thoughts and feelings. I am trained to help you effectively cope with and find healing from anxiety-related mental health issues.
Military & Veteran Counseling
As a member of the Military you face unique challenges related to your service experiences, including exposure to trauma, deployment stress, and transitioning to civilian life.
I have prepared specialized psychological therapy options to address your specific needs. These therapies are designed to provide support, coping strategies, and healing for the mental health issues that military personnel and veterans may encounter.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Please let us help you if you’re experiencing anxiety symptoms during different stages of your pregnancy and motherhood journey. While pregnancy and the postpartum period can be exciting and joyous times, they can also bring about various emotional and psychological challenges. Anxiety, in particular, is a common emotional response during these phases, but when it becomes overwhelming and interferes with daily functioning, it may require attention and support.
Common symptoms of pregnancy-related anxiety include:
- Persistent and excessive worry or fear
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Difficulty concentrating
- Muscle tension
- Racing thoughts
- Irritability
- Sleep disturbances
- Panic attacks
It’s important to note that while some level of anxiety is a normal part of the pregnancy and postpartum experience, severe or persistent anxiety that affects one’s ability to function should not be ignored. Seeking support shows your commitment to your own well-being and the health of your growing family.
Marital & Premarital Support
Designed to help couples improve their relationship, communication, and overall well-being, couples therapy can help you and your partner work through obstacles together. Whether you’re seeking support before getting married or looking to enhance an existing marriage, Christian-based therapy can provide a valuable space to address challenges, strengthen your bond, and develop skills for a successful partnership.
Trauma
Trauma refers to a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that overwhelms our ability to cope and leaves a lasting impact on our emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Trauma can result from a single event or a series of events that are perceived as threatening, dangerous, or life-altering. Traumatic experiences can lead to a range of emotional and psychological reactions that affect our functioning, perception of safety, and overall quality of life.
Christian therapy for trauma is designed to help you cope with and heal from the emotional and psychological effects of past traumatic experiences. Trauma-focused therapy aims to reduce distressing symptoms, such as flashbacks, nightmares, hyper-vigilance, and emotional numbness, that often occur as a result of trauma.
