Great to meet you!

Welcome. Taking the first step toward emotional healing and personal growth can take courage, and I am glad you are here. I am a compassionate therapist with over 22 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. At times, difficult experiences, unexpected changes, or ongoing stress can disrupt our sense of peace and leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or emotionally depleted. Therapy provides a supportive space to work through these challenges, gain greater understanding, develop healthier ways of coping, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help you restore hope, experience greater peace and joy, and feel more confident in living a fulfilling and meaningful life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and greater emotional well-being.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an integrated approach which pulls from various different therapeutic modalities including Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Family Systems, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. My areas of expertise include obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and neglect, relationship issues, and Christian counseling.

What you can expect from me

I seek to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment which promotes self-awareness and self-discovery. My hope is through our work together, you will gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, enhance self-esteem, develop healthier thought processes and coping mechanisms, and promote positive emotional, psychological and spiritual growth
