I am passionate about walking alongside hurting people as they courageously face life's challenges and heal emotional wounds. Attending to mind, body and spirit are essential to healing, and I enjoy integrating faith into the therapy journey. I believe in people and their ability to maneuver through painful life experiences and come out stronger and more resilient. I desire to provide a non-judgmental environment of grace, hope, and safety, so that the healing process can occur. I enjoy offering support, encouragement and praise for the challenging work of personal growth. I love counseling individuals, couples, and families. I approach therapy from a system's perspective that looks at the whole context of a person's life rather than just at the individual. It is my desire to aid others in finding healing in mind, body, and spirit. My background in mental health and substance abuse assists me in providing an integrated approach to therapy. I'm trained in various methods of couples therapy. Along with talk therapy, I use Sand Tray Therapy, and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), an evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/16365328
