You may feel weighed down by anxiety, stress, or depression. Sometimes you question your ability to find peace or cope with everything happening in your life. Maybe you’re going through a big transition, dealing with chronic health challenges, or struggling with the deep pain of grief and loss. Deep down, you’re seeking clarity, emotional balance, and a sense of trust in yourself. You want to break free from the patterns that hold you back—whether that’s self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or relationship difficulties. Most of all, you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to explore your feelings and build strength to move forward.

I specialize in working with people who experience trauma, grief, anxiety, chronic illness, and sexual abuse.
The first time I sought out a therapist I was feeling overwhelmed and confused. I was afraid to trust a stranger with my most vulnerable feelings. I found a caring, empathetic therapist who earned my trust and helped me in my struggles. As a therapist, I aim to hold a compassionate, caring space and give you safety to explore the hard things in your life, with wise guidance to find new ways to handle the stressors in your past and present. I want you to find resolution, a sense of hopefulness, improved self-confidence, and healthy, productive relationships.

May 2024: I am currently accepting new clients! We all need connection. But sometimes making and maintaining connections is hard. When we’re dealing with difficult situations or trying to protect ourselves from pain, we can get distracted, distant, or shut down; in other words, disconnected. Whatever brought you here today, I invite you to consider whether feeling more connected - with your inner experiences, the important people in your life, or the activities you’re engaged in - could help.

I am an experienced Therapist. I offer counseling to couples, families and individuals. Most couples that I work with have strengths and struggles. I assist them in tuning-up their communication and problem solving skills. Individuals are often seeking therapy to better understand and treat their symptoms; such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, past unresolved issues. Causes are many; including relationship conflict, parenting, aging, illness, jobs and other life stressors.

You don't have to carry your burdens alone or be stuck in your pain.
Are you struggling under the weight of life's troubles, feeling anxious, sad or full of regret? Maybe you are impacted by trauma from the past or your relationships are suffering. Perhaps you feel like nothing helps. You might even question where God is in your situation. Maybe you don't even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You need a safe, non-judgmental place to find hope and healing; one where God is part of the process, with a skilled counselor who shares your Christian faith.

This allows treatment to be tailored specifically to the individual in a way that can most effectively help to create change, lower distress, increase growth, and alleviate pain.
To reveal and work through one's difficulties can be scary, but fulfilling and enriching. Thus, I work to create a trusting, supportive environment free of judgement that allows for a safe space to dive into the depths of one's unique story and what brings them to treatment. Therapy can be a powerful process in which one can gain new insights, decrease distress and suffering, uncover strengths and limitations, and improve relationships both with one's self and others. I will treat you with compassion, empathy, encouragement, and honesty as we navigate the therapeutic process together.
