Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate emotional challenges, relational disconnection, trauma, and spiritual burnout. I serve adults and couples who are seeking not just tools but transformation.

My approach to therapy

With a background in pastoral ministry and a Educational Specialist degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I integrate clinical expertise with a warm, faith-grounded approach. My work is shaped by training in the Gottman Method, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution Focused therapy, along with trauma-informed care for those carrying invisible wounds from childhood or past relationships.

What you can expect from me

I believe healing happens in a space of compassion, clarity, and collaboration. Clients often describe my style as calming, insightful, and spiritually grounding. Whether you're feeling disconnected in your marriage, overwhelmed by life transitions, or burdened by emotional pain, I offer a space that honors your story and helps you rebuild hope, one step at a time.
