Christian counseling engages your story without judgment, and helps change how you see yourself, others, God, and life experiences. This takes time. I would love to walk alongside you through your struggles and difficulties. My counseling experience ranges from residential treatment, church counseling ministry, and private practice.

For those who request it, I can integrate a Christian counseling perspective into our sessions.
As an EMDR Certified clinician, I take a different approach to counseling. If you're tired of traditional talk therapy, or want to try EMDR because you've heard others sing its praises, you're in the right place. EMDR is a counseling method that helps people overcome a number of issues including anxiety, self-esteem problems, feeling like an imposter, trying to move on from negative events or trauma and more. Much like the healing that takes place in REM sleep, EMDR heals using eye movements to reprocess the experiences we've had that lead to these concerns so that they sit in the brain differently. And they no longer feel true!

I offer biblically based Christian counseling, Spiritual Direction, and Grief Recovery services.
Thriving in a world torn apart by broken relationships, unmet expectations, and ongoing heartache can seem like a far off dream. While navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, I believe God uses our pain to help us see ourselves, to see God, and to see others more accurately. I am passionate about helping people move from brokenness and sorrow to hope and restoration, and I believe that this journey is not meant to be an independent one. I’m here as a companion for this journey to help you to uncover your God-given identity, and embrace a healthy sense of self.

Families are at the heart of every society, which starts as couples, who in and of themselves are unique individuals. In this life, we all will have challenges. No one (and no family or couple) is perfect, and sometimes we all need help. The ideal client is brave enough to consider that they may want or need help. It takes courage to ask for help, which doesn't make them weak - it makes them bright. The ideal client loves themselves and those in their life enough to be their best. The good news is that you don't have to try and do this alone. Let me help. Personal, private, and tailored to your needs service.

Welcome! I enjoy working with individuals and couples, and walking alongside them in their healing. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between the family and therapist, that each client has the resiliency and resources they need already within, and that it is our job to uncover them. My work with clients considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing relational distress, sex concerns, infertility/pregnancy issues, transracial/transnational family dynamics, processing trauma, religion and spirituality, body-image concerns, or low self esteem.

Most people come to me during times of transition or when something has reached a level of discomfort that they can no longer avoid dealing with it - a relationship, a move, an overwhelming feeling. They are ready and interested in talking about what is going on in the hopes of experiencing relief, change, and a better future.
