Great to meet you!

I work primarily with adults and married couples. However, I do not see couples on this platform. I am trained in EMDR therapy to help those who have experienced trauma. I also have expertise in working with people coming out of abusive relationships. I have helped clients in developing a sense of identity, boundaries, empowerment, self-care, and holistic well-being. I have helped people work through processes of forgiveness, grief, recovery, and abuse and trauma healing. Clients have expressed that I create a safe place and share practical tools toward change.

My approach to therapy

My passion is to encourage people to live in the truth of who they are in their unique design as a person. I have a specific tool set to help people uncover and address underlying fears and faulty beliefs; leading to healing, communication at a heart-level, relational connection; and internal and interpersonal conflict resolution.

I was described by one client as patient, direct, gentle, empathetic, encouraging, discerning, helpful, reassuring, and guiding through example. Another client said "through your guidance and approach; I began to feel like I could actually walk away from toxic relationships, set boundaries, and step into who I was created to be."

What you can expect from me

Clients can walk away feeling like they have been heard, validated, and having made movement toward healing and reaching their specific stated goals for coming the therapy.
