Can you relate to this?
Did you grow up in a family where mental health was rarely discussed or, worse, seen as something to hide or ignore? Have you felt the weight of carrying your struggles in silence, unsure of how to break free from the patterns that seem to hold you back? Perhaps you’ve found yourself wondering why things just don't seem to be going right and questioning how you became so unhappy, yet never quite knew where to turn for help. At our practice, we understand the unique challenges that come with this experience, and we're here to offer a safe, compassionate space where healing can begin.
My Approach
Narrative Therapy:
Rewriting Your Story, Empower Your Life
Narrative Therapy: Rewrite Your Story, Empower Your Life
At the heart of Narrative Therapy is the belief that you are the author of your own story. Through this empowering approach, we help you explore the narratives you've created about yourself, your relationships, and your challenges. Often, the stories we tell ourselves can become limiting or negative, but by examining and reshaping them, we can open up new possibilities for growth and healing.
With Narrative Therapy, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to identify and reframe these stories, uncovering the strength and resilience within you. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, or simply seeking a fresh perspective, this approach gives you the tools to reclaim your personal narrative, transform your experience, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.
Your story is unique—and with the right support, you can rewrite it in a way that reflects your true potential.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Break Free from Negative Patterns
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The core idea is simple: the way we think shapes how we feel and act. If negative or unhelpful thought patterns are holding you back, CBT can help you identify, challenge, and change them—leading to lasting improvements in your emotional well-being and overall life satisfaction.
Through practical tools and strategies, CBT helps you break free from cycles of anxiety, depression, stress, and other challenges. You’ll learn how to reframe negative thoughts, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build a more balanced perspective on life. Whether you're struggling with everyday stress or more deep-seated issues, CBT offers a structured, solution-focused path forward—empowering you to take control and create positive change.
With CBT, you're not just talking about your problems but actively working to change them. It's time to unlock the power of your mind and start living the life you want.
The Immanuel Approach:
Connecting with God for Healing
The Immanuel Approach to therapy is a deeply personal, faith-centered method that invites you to experience healing with God’s presence at the center. Through this approach, we focus on connecting with God’s love and guidance, helping you navigate your emotional and spiritual struggles. The goal is not just to process pain, but to actively invite God into your healing journey, allowing His peace and wisdom to transform your life. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, or difficult life transitions, the Immanuel Approach helps you find deep connection, clarity, and the strength to move forward—knowing you are never alone. Together, we’ll tap into the profound healing that comes from God’s love and presence in your life.
My Style
I am a compassionate Christian therapist who brings a lighthearted yet direct approach to our work together. My goal is to challenge and support you as we push past your limits and equip you with the tools you need for lasting change. I believe in a client-led approach to therapy, where you are at the center of the process. This method, inspired by Carl Rogers, recognizes your inherent ability to grow and make positive changes in your life. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, work through your challenges, and empower you to create the transformation you’re seeking.
