Great to meet you!

Are you carrying pain you don’t talk about—spiritual questions, emotional wounds, or unspoken grief? I work with individuals who appear strong on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or spiritually disconnected inside. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, or relationship challenges, and are seeking meaningful, spiritually aligned support. As a trauma informed therapist with 20 years of experience, I create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and heal. Whether you’re facing emotional distress, life transitions, or faith struggles—I’m here to walk with you toward restoration.

My approach to therapy

I work with adults who are navigating complex emotional experiences: Childhood or relationship trauma, identity issues, spiritual confusion, grief, anxiety, depression or mood instability, life transitions, racial and cultural stressors. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques (like CBT and trauma-informed care) with compassion and deep listening.

What you can expect from me

For 20 years, I have worked with the outliers. The ones who feel overlooked, misunderstood, or out of place. My clients are deep thinkers and big feelers, carrying heavy hearts while showing up for everyone else. Maybe you’ve been called the “black sheep” of your family or carry emotional or spiritual burdens in silence, you’re not alone. Reach out today.
