Great to meet you!

Welcome. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with over eight years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life's most difficult challenges. I have worked extensively with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties, grief, life transitions, and stress-related concerns.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is compassionate, practical, and evidence-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and other proven therapeutic approaches to help clients develop healthier thought patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and create lasting change.

I recognize that every person's journey is unique, so I tailor treatment to each client's individual needs, goals, and values. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith-based counseling, thoughtfully integrating biblical principles with evidence-based therapeutic practices. Whether you are seeking a clinically focused approach or wish to include your faith as part of the healing process, I strive to provide care that is respectful, authentic, and aligned with what matters most to you.

What you can expect from me

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your concerns while learning practical tools to move toward greater peace, confidence, and emotional well-being. Together, we'll identify the obstacles that are keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Whether you're struggling with the effects of trauma, overwhelming anxiety, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck in life, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and hope.
