ABOUT V&B

My Mission.

My mission is to provide a compassionate, inclusive, and supportive space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process—one that empowers you to deepen self-understanding, develop healthier relationships, and build the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

With a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where every individual feels heard, valued, and supported. For those who prefer to integrate their faith into their healing journey, I offer Christian counseling upon request, blending evidence-based practices with spiritual guidance. Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, working through relationship patterns, or looking to reconnect with yourself, my goal is to meet you where you are and guide you toward a path of growth, resilience, and healing.

Core Values.

  • Inclusivity & Accessibility – Therapy should be a space where all individuals, regardless of background, identity, or life experiences, feel welcomed and supported.

  • Collaboration & Empowerment – Healing is not a one-size-fits-all process; I work with clients to tailor therapy to their unique needs, strengths, and goals.

  • Authenticity & Connection – A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change, and I strive to create an environment built on trust, understanding, and genuine care.

  • Growth & Healing – Whether working through past wounds or developing new coping skills, I am committed to helping clients move toward greater emotional well-being and personal fulfillment.

  • Spiritual Sensitivity – I honor the importance of spiritual beliefs in many clients’ lives, offering Christian counseling upon request to integrate faith-based perspectives with therapeutic practices.

 Specialties & Approach

I provide therapy for individuals seeking support with a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, and personal growth. My practice is open to working with a wide range of individuals, including teens, young adults, and adults. Whether you are navigating stress, processing past experiences, or working toward healthier relationships, I offer a supportive and personalized approach to help you move forward.

SPECIALTIES:

While I am trained to work with a wide variety of concerns, I have specialized experience in:

  • Helping individuals develop coping strategies to manage overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and physical symptoms.

  • Supporting those who want to explore early relational wounds, improve emotional security, and break unhelpful patterns.

  • Assisting individuals in understanding and improving relationship patterns, communication, and connection.

  • Providing guidance during major life changes, including career shifts, relationship changes, and personal development.

  • Offering a compassionate, safe space to explore and process past experiences that may impact your present life.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH & MODALITIES:

I draw from evidence-based and integrative approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs, including:

  • Exploring how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics.

  • Helping individuals reframe their experiences and take an empowered role in their personal story.

  • Helping individuals identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns while incorporating practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness..

  • Incorporating body awareness and present-moment practices to support emotional regulation and healing.

  • Creating a nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and supported in your growth.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I work collaboratively with clients to determine the best approach for their goals. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and affirming space where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
