Hi there, I'm Derek!

I specialize in supporting individuals as they work through limiting beliefs and unresolved emotional pain, with the goal of empowering them to embrace their authentic selves and build meaningful, fulfilling lives.

My focus

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and spiritual issues, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Christian counseling, and EMDR to promote healing and growth.

My approach

I utilize holistic, integrative methods—including CBT, Person-Centered therapy, Solution-Focused approaches, and EMDR—to partner with clients in their healing process. Grounded in compassion, kindness, and mutual respect, I provide a secure and nonjudgmental environment that supports authentic self-expression.
