My Story
​​
Clinical Interests:
I am passionate about walking alongside individuals (ages 5+) on their journey toward personal growth and well-being. My goal is to support you in achieving your health, spiritual, professional, financial, marriage, family, and personal development goals while providing care for a wide range of mental health challenges. These include substance use, eating disorders, self-esteem, stress management, anxiety, depression, domestic-violence, co-occurring disorders, grief, spirituality, and more.
​
Clinical Approach:
I tailor therapy to each individual, using a variety of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Experiential Therapy, Psychotherapy, and Holistic methods. I understand that healing is a journey, often requiring small steps to achieve lasting change. My mission is to help you create a life worth living, rediscover joy, and overcome the fears that may be holding you back.
​
Personal Interests:
Spirituality is my foundation, guiding me in self care and bringing joy to my life. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, fishing, boating, hunting, gardening, ATV and motorcycle riding, kickboxing, exercising, traveling, nature, music, dancing, prayer, meditation, crafting, being around animals, and supporting others in their recovery journey.
Nova
Meet Nova, a Certified Therapy Dog with a gentle, calming presence and an incredible ability to sense when someone is struggling. She is dedicated to helping people, just as much as I am.
​​
Incorporating a therapy dog into my practice has been a longtime dream, driven by a passion for providing hope and healing. Through animal-assisted therapy, I aim to support individuals coping with mental health disorders, addictions, medical conditions, and life's challenges. I have witnessed firsthand the powerful impact of combining evidence-based therapy with the unconditional love and comfort that a therapy dog provides.
​
This approach offers numerous benefits, including increased joy, reduced anxiety and depression, improved self-esteem, enhanced social skills, and greater motivation for engagement and activity. Nova's sweet demeanor and unwavering companionship make her an invaluable part of the healing journey.
