Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
“I am a therapist because my hope and desire is to help people be able to heal from their past hurts and move towards living up to their full potential in life.”
SPECIALTIES
The therapist gathers information about the client’s history and identifies target memories or experiences to address.
The client learns coping skills and relaxation techniques to manage distress and increase readiness for EMDR processing.
Specific target memories are selected for processing, and the client identifies negative beliefs associated with these memories.
The client focuses on the target memory while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation (e.g., eye movements or tapping). This helps to reduce the emotional charge associated with the memory.
Positive beliefs and sensations are reinforced to replace negative beliefs associated with the target memory.
The client scans their body for any remaining tension or discomfort related to the memory and processes any residual distress.
The session ends with the client feeling calm and grounded. Homework assignments may be given to support ongoing processing outside of sessions.
The therapist assesses progress and addresses any remaining distress or targets that may require further processing.

“When a person comes to Wellspring seeking a therapist and is matched with me, I am thankful. I am thankful because I have been given an opportunity to partner with and journey alongside one who is seeking help and healing. My hope for all my clients is that during their time with me, they find their own hope has been restored and that they’ve developed a strong belief that positive change is not just possible, but probable because they have experienced that change for themselves.”

“I am a therapist because it is the only profession that can connect the best available psychosocial intervention practices with the concerns of people coming for help. It is making that connection that is the most challenging aspect of our work, but also the most gratifying as it brings best practices into a caring, therapeutic relationship.”
SPECIALTIES
“I’m a therapist because I enjoy helping others reach for their God-given potential as worthy and loved people. Moreover, it is fulfilling as well as an honor and privilege to walk beside clients who are courageously taking the journey of self-growth and well-being under whatever their circumstances may be.”

“I hope that my clients can find a genuine, comfortable place to explore, grow, and heal. I believe that God created us to be able to heal when we are in relationship and the counseling setting offers a wonderful place for this healing to happen.”
SPECIALTIES
“After making the brave decision to start therapy, I hope clients experience the safety of sharing what’s on their hearts and achieve the peace, healing, and wholeness they deserve and desire. A top aspiration is for clients to gain the tools, skills, and support to cultivate mental and emotional awareness and growth to help them navigate life’s challenges effectively and lead purposeful and fulfilling lives.”
