Great to meet you!

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships (including divorce and affair recovery), grief, PTSD, or past trauma, I provide a warm, empathic, collaborative approach that is client-centered. My passion is to help you find your inner strength as we process life and find healing for the painful areas of your heart. My goal is to see you integrated and whole so you can thrive in your life! I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families.

My approach to therapy

I offer a client-centered approach, while integrating cognitive-behavioral principles and methods. I am EMDR trained, and able to help you process PTSD and traumatic memories so you are able to move past them in a healthy way. I also have 30 years of ministry experience and can offer a spiritual perspective if this is a direction you're interested in.

What you can expect from me

I understand how hard it is to make the decision to go to therapy. I have been there as a divorced mother of three adult children. I have experienced the power of therapy and know what healing looks like. I can take you there too! Let me walk with you so you're not alone. Together we will find hope and healing. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
