We are all designed uniquely and live uniquely. Every person that we encounter is shaped by the interwoven threads of mind, body, and spirit as well as relationships, work, education, culture, community, and history. As such, Harbor Christian Counseling (HCC) seeks to care for the whole person through services that take into account this full range of formative influences. Caring for the whole person also means that we partner with our clients to address unwanted or problematic behaviors while gradually moving deeper to explore root issues that might be hampering growth.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me in order to achieve their goal. This includes being able to have back and forth conversation around ways to achieve that goal, as well as have the more difficult conversations when it comes to road blocks and the occasional self sabotaging behavior. I will always be honest in my assessments, and thoughts, and my hope would be that my client is as well.

Coming from a Lead Clinician role for a Virtual Partial Hospitalization (PHP) Program, I don't believe in an "ideal" client. In my previous role, we rarely had insight into a client's clinical presentation before their intake. I have learned to tailor my approach to each client while aiding them in learning emotional regulation techniques and interventions to sustain sobriety.

I believe nobody should grapple with crippling anxiety. Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop, feeling unwarranted fear, or losing sleep due to worry? There's hope. Anxiety affects millions, but we can navigate toward a brighter tomorrow. I offer personalized sessions for self-confidence, serenity, and joy. Let's embark on this journey together—because you deserve a life free from anxiety's constraints. My commitment to specializing in anxiety and its various forms stems from a recognition of the remarkable efficacy of modern therapeutic approaches.

As people, we are always in bloom. Over time, we become different versions of ourselves. The shifting landscape of how we relate to the world around us can be both thrilling and terrifying, and it can be hard to know how to process and adjust to life's transitions. I support clients in developing insight into their internal worlds, and exploring how core perspectives and beliefs shape interactions in the external world. Through this process, clients are able to identify aspects of past versions of themselves that are no longer serving them, and areas of strength that they can carry forward into future phases.

Therapy is a safe space of understanding that facilitates hope, and person centered solutions that are practical and ethically reliable. Using clinical integration and holistic interventions, we will begin to reclaim hope towards a meaningful life that is empowering and fulfilling.
