Great to meet you!

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals find healing, direction, and hope in their lives. My experience spans schools, churches, and community settings, where I’ve supported

people through a wide range of life challenges.

I work with clients facing emotional struggles, addictions, life

transitions, career loss or change, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. My approach combines proven methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Directive Imagery, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

For those who desire a spiritual foundation in their counseling journey, I also offer Christian Faith-Based Counseling to help integrate faith and emotional well-being. My goal is to walk beside you as you move toward growth, peace, and a more balanced life.

My approach to therapy

I will walk with you through your struggles, helping you discover healing, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose through solution-based support.

What you can expect from me

My goal for every session is that you leave feeling at least a little lighter, clearer, or more understood than when you came in. In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding your current challenges, exploring your goals, and beginning to map out practical, solution-focused steps toward positive change.
