I provide a safe and supportive place to explore and heal the roots of my clients' struggles. I view counseling as a transformational process that enables clients to heal from past wounds and experiences in order to better connect with themselves, others, and God. Working from an attachment perspective, I enjoy helping my clients work through challenging personal and spiritual issues, life transitions, relationship difficulties, wounds from childhood, trauma and anxiety/stress. I believe that ultimately it is God's healing presence in the midst of this process that brings hope, freedom and restoration.

You can read the complete bio on my website, but let's hit the highlights here. Since 8th grade I wanted to be a therapist – primarily driven by a desire to help people, but coming in a close second is my general fascination with why humans think and act the way we do. I studied psychology, minoring in philosophy, and at the same time began working in mental health in 1996. At first this was with "at-risk" children/teens, although later I shifted to residential treatment while pursuing my master's in school counseling. Although I had always wanted to be in a clinical setting, being a guidance counselor was a more practical start.
