I am passionate about working with those who suffer the effects of trauma, whether it be a one-time event, or many experiences that built up over time. My clients are brave enough to share their experiences with me, and in turn, I create a safe space for them to share in. We work together to understand and process what has happened in the past, what coping skills they have implemented to help them survive until now, and what we can do to best grow and move forward. My clients are the experts in their healing journey, but I will never leave them without the tools and support necessary to navigate that process.

While counseling involves theories and techniques, I prefer to think of it as a relationship of support and encouragement to help my clients get unstuck in their personal issues or relationship difficulties. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families who are eagerly seeking change and growth. I am experienced in working with a variety of personal and relational issues: communication, resolving marital or family conflict, intimacy in marriage, affair recovery, sexual issues, practicing forgiveness, parenting, preparing for marriage, developing healthier relationships, grieving loss through death or divorce, resolving/managing anger, anxiety, and depression.
