Hi there!

I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained Christian therapist who provides biblically based counseling for individuals seeking a connection between their faith in God and better mental health. My goal is to be a steward to those who are struggling or feel far from His presence. Through Scripture, I aim to help you remember your worth in Christ. I specialize in working with anxiety disorders, stress management, trauma, and relationship issues.

Education:

• M.S. Marquette University
  • -Clinical Mental Health Counseling
  • B.A. UW-Milwaukee
  • -Psychology

I use a combination of evidence-based skills including mindfulness, thought challenging, and radical acceptance along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I understand everyone’s expectations of inviting God into session may be different which leads me to take an individualized approach to you and your needs. I am an encouraging, warm, yet direct counselor who will gently remind you to reflect on goals and intentions you have set for yourself.

In your first session with me, you can expect me to ask about your mental health history including family history, substance use, and prior mental health care. My goal is to learn what brought you to seek counseling and your intentions for inviting God into sessions. Together, we can explore God’s Word and develop short-term goals that strengthen your faith and mental health.
