Hi, I’m Jody. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, you're not alone—and you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer real, supportive therapy to help you heal, grow, and move forward. I’m an LISW, LICDC, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with 10+ years of experience in mental health and addiction. I work with teens and adults from all walks of life. My approach is open-minded, inclusive, and rooted in faith, hope, and practical tools that meet you where you are. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, personality disorders, and self-esteem. Using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and a solution-focused, trauma-informed approach, I meet you where you are. My goal is simple: to help you feel heard, supported, and ready to move forward. Your story matters—everyone is welcome here. Faith is an important part of my life, and I believe that with small steps and support, big goals can be reached. Therapy is a vital part of self-care, and my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space where you feel heard and empowered. I offer telehealth talk therapy that's flexible and accessible for your schedule. Let's get started together!

I provide a non-judgmental place where you can share all you need to about yourself. If you are struggling with embarrassment or shame, to heal and grow you need a safe place to share yourself. I will help you understand the root causes of your symptoms. I will address the symptoms by going deeper into your feelings, your beliefs about yourself, others, and God. This will involve discovering your experiences which have shaped your life. This is primarily done through talk therapy, but I also use prayer and EMDR to further your healing. I help people with their relationships. Relationships are the primary way you grow and heal; when not functioning well, you are not able to receive what you need. Therapy involves developing attachment (saying yes to life), separation (ability to say no), integration (accepting good and bad in self and others). I offer prayer to help strengthen your connection with Jesus Christ. In additional to individual and relationship counseling, I offer healing care groups. These groups provide a safe place in community of other believers to grow spiritually and heal emotionally. I also offer EMDR to help your process negative beliefs.
