Great to meet you!

I provide warm, practical Christian counseling for adults and professionals navigating anxiety, burnout, stress, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I work best with people who are ready for change and want therapy to feel active, personalized, and connected to real life. My goal is to help you understand what is happening beneath the pressure, build healthier patterns, and move toward improved mood, stronger coping, and meaningful progress.

My approach to therapy

My approach combines evidence-based therapy with Christian faith when that is important to you. Therapy is designed as a personalized journey, not a one-size-fits-all experience. I may incorporate digital tools, therapeutic apps, AI-supported resources, structured exercises, and midweek check-ins to help you stay engaged between sessions and apply what you are learning in everyday life. Faith, prayer, values, boundaries, identity, and your relationship with God can also be integrated into treatment when appropriate. The focus is practical, collaborative, and designed to help you create measurable change rather than simply talk about the same problems week after week.

What you can expect from me

The first session focuses on understanding what is bringing you to therapy, what has and has not worked before, and what you want to change. Together, we identify your priorities, begin building a personalized treatment plan, and discuss tools you can start using right away. You can expect therapy to be structured, supportive, and action oriented, with clear goals and ongoing strategies to help you make progress both during and between sessions.
