My Approach to Therapy

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of walking with individuals and families through some of life’s most tender seasons—grief, anxiety, trauma, identity questions, relational struggles, and spiritual weariness.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I was trained in evidence-based practices that help clients understand their patterns, build healthy coping skills, and move toward healing. And these methods—when used wisely and compassionately—do help. I regularly draw upon tools such as:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Attachment-focused work, including parent-child relational repair

• Trauma-informed practices for emotional safety and resilience

But over time, I began to see a deeper need—one that no clinical model could fully meet on its own.

Clients would grow in awareness. They’d develop skills. They’d feel better for a while. But many still carried an ache that techniques alone couldn’t touch. A sense that something was missing.

One day, a Christian client asked me a question that changed everything:
“How did you stop going in circles?”

It was a sacred moment—and one that revealed the answer I had experienced firsthand:
Jesus.

That question—and so many quiet observations leading up to it—led me to reshape my practice into what it was always meant to be:
A place of healing through a biblical lens.

I believe true transformation happens when therapy addresses not just the mind and behaviors, but the heart and soul. While I continue to use evidence-based tools, I now integrate them through the framework of God’s Word, seeking to align each approach with the truth and hope of the gospel.

This means:

• You’ll receive professional, ethical therapy grounded in clinical training.

• You’ll be met with grace, compassion, and respect for where you are in your faith journey.

• And if you’re open to it, we’ll explore what it means to bring your heart before God and find healing not just for symptoms—but for your story.

Biblical counseling sees each person as made in God’s image—deeply loved, yet also deeply affected by the brokenness of this world. It doesn’t deny the reality of trauma, emotion, or mental health struggles. Instead, it brings them honestly to the One who offers lasting hope.

Where other approaches may aim to help you manage or cope, biblical counseling seeks to help you heal—through:

• The wisdom of Scripture

• The power of prayer

• The comfort of the Holy Spirit

• And the transformative work of Christ

My heart is not to offer therapy that leaves you stuck in cycles or dependent on sessions for years to come. I don’t want to apply a bandage to wounds that require deeper restoration. I want to walk with you toward freedom—the kind only Jesus can bring.

If you’re seeking therapy that honors your emotional health and your faith...
If you’re longing for change that goes beyond surface healing...
If you want support that’s both clinically grounded and biblically faithful...

I’d be honored to walk with you.
