Great to meet you!

After 20 plus years as a therapist, I have come to believe people want to heal and can! I enjoy getting to know my clients and discovering the best path forward for each unique individual. I am honored to be part of the healing process!

My approach to therapy

I am an attachment-focused trauma-therapist and I believe that we are deeply driven by our needs for, and fears of, intimate relationships. Addressing past harm allows us to make better choices moving forward with wisdom and kindness.

Personal empowerment is important to me because I see people as having the ability to be agents, not victims.

I integrate faith when it is welcomed. As a Christian I see healing and relationship with God as deeply integral.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is an opportunity for you to explore the nature of your concerns and to voice your hopes. My job is to listen for themes and attempt to identify and integreate the parts of you that aren't functioning as well as you'd like them to. This is at your leading, with my experience and training to join you on the journey.
