My clients come to me with a history of family issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, marital and relationship conflicts.

For more than a decade, I've worked with individuals and couples in crisis due to infidelity, abusive relationships and recent loss.

As a trauma-informed MFT, I believe our past experiences impact the way we form our identity and relate to each other in the present. As a Christian therapist, I integrate spirituality with IFS, EMDR and the Gottman Method.
