Great to meet you!

Hey there!

I specialize in working with adults, couples, and fellow therapists. My areas of specialty include trauma, anxiety, faith, shame, communication, infidelity, and intimacy.

I see value in exploring the deeper things, at your own pace, for DEEPER HEALING.

My approach is not just about changing behaviors, it is about transformation. That is, to understand what we’re really feeling and why we do what we do as individuals or in our relationships.

I'm a graduate from Pepperdine University and Life Pacific University. I'm also a Certified Biblical Counselor and previous Adjunct Professor.

My approach to therapy

I strongly value the relationship that will occur by being someone you connect with, I don't believe in just being a robot or Chat GPT haha.

I work from a Psychodynamic approach, where it's about unpacking the layers and gaining more self awareness and understanding of your inner world that shows up externally.

Subconsciously, we often do what we think protects us in response to messages/beliefs/traumas. Behaviors that once 'protected us' may no longer serve us as adults and can lead to challenges in life. I can help you understand and rewrite the impact of family of origin.

What you can expect from me

In my work with others like you, I’ve been able to witness people’s lives transform and it’s been an absolute joy!

With this approach, I see clients and couples learn how to spread their learned insight and tools across circumstances which increases their confidence of getting through hard things.

They become more aware of their reactions, triggers, interpretations, and why they are feeling something, which helps them have more control of how they respond or react.

And sometimes a session is filled with celebration and recognition of relief, progress and growth!
