​

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Over the past 13 years, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, service members, and veterans in community and private practice.​ I support individuals by identifying their strengths, setting and clarifying their goals. I collaborate with clients to increase self-compassion as they empower themselves to work through challenges.

​

If you are seeking healing, recovery, restoration, and growth from emotional, behavioral, trauma, relational, communication, boundaries, anger, grief, loss, or addiction challenges, you have come to the right place. I would be honored to assist you thrive in this season of your life. My private practice is Living Hope Counseling, LLC, where Hope, Healing &  Restoration meet. 

 

My style is energetic, warm, humorous, and collaborative. I take a holistic, strength-based, person-centered perspective, recognizing your unique background, strengths, capabilities, and challenges. Using evidence-based approaches, I collaborate with my clients to promote change by building on their innate qualities and motivation for therapeutic growth. The techniques that I am trained in most extensively are CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and breath work. These strategies will be seen differently depending on what we are working on in session. I would be happy to discuss how I might use them with you over the phone.

​

I also facilitate Army Strong Bonds training and lead workshops and groups on improving self-esteem, boundaries, communication, and navigating seasons of life with distinctive Biblical perspectives.

​

From personal experience, I understand the overwhelming fear and loss of equilibrium when life throws an unexpected transition, or a new season feels demoralizing. I have seen how having the optimal support system in place can help an individual refocus, embrace, and tackle the new season in a hope-filled way.

I look forward to meeting you!
