Great to meet you!

With more than 25 years of clinical counseling experience, I bring a compassionate, empowering approach to therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, wife, mother, grandmother, and Elder in my church, my perspective is shaped by a deep respect for the many seasons and challenges of life. I believe every person has strength, dignity, and the capacity to heal. My guiding phrase, “He Restoreth My Soul,” reflects my belief that healing involves the whole person—mind, will, and emotions—and can help restore identity, purpose, and resilience.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients recognize their strengths and develop practical tools for change. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, challenge distorted thinking, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges. Trauma healing is a particular area of focus in my work. I draw from the TREM (Trauma, Recovery, and Empowerment) Model, emphasizing empowerment, connection, and reclaiming one’s voice. I see myself as a guide who walks alongside clients—not directing their journey, but helping them discover their own path toward healing and empowered living. For clients who desire it, my Christian faith can also be incorporated into therapy in a respectful, client-centered way.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and create a safe, welcoming space to discuss what brings you to therapy. We will explore your concerns, experiences, and goals while beginning to identify areas where therapy can support you. You can expect to be heard without judgment and met with compassion and respect. You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling supported, hopeful, and confident that you have someone walking alongside you in your journey toward healing.
