Welcome

Feeling stuck?

Lost?

Like you're in survival mode or just going through the motions? Do you feel numb or debilitated at work or in your relationships? Or do you feel utterly alone? Has depression, anxiety, stress, anger, or grief destroyed your joy, energy, focus, patience, or overall hope for the future?

Maybe you simply recognize that something isn't right—that you're not "okay," even if you're not sure why. Maybe your relationship is falling apart. Maybe you're haunted by a painful past or intense emotions that make your world feel like a war zone. Or maybe you're just having a hard time accomplishing the goals you set for yourself.

If any of this rings true for you, you've come to the right place.

I am here to help.

What I offer...

I provide counseling services for individuals ages 16+ in Columbia, IL, and the surrounding area to address stress, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, trauma, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, relationship/ marital issues, divorce, vocational challenges, and ADHD related difficulties.

I take a holistic approach to recovery that is guided by interdisciplinary psychology, health sciences, anthropology, and the Christian Faith. It is my intent to provide a positive and respectful encounter for all individuals regardless of background or beliefs. I incorporate a variety of modalities and interventions including but not limited to:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Solution-Focused Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Mindfulness Training

Bottom line: I strive to cultivate an experience that embodies authenticity, openness, trust, and discovery to help you find hope, healing, purpose, direction, and confidence to achieve your goals.
