Great to meet you!

I know life can be so lonesome and hard. It can be scary not knowing where to turn or what to do. I went into social work 20 years ago because I felt called to help the hurting. I became a therapist 10 years ago because I learned that lasting help involves deep healing, alignment to true identity, and strategic equipping. I firmly believe that no matter what you've been through, or what you've been made to believe about yourself--you matter and your life has a purpose. My specialty is Christian counseling with Biblical principle integration, as this is when I generally see the biggest impact on clients' lives.

My approach to therapy

Because I believe we are the way we are for valid reasons, I'm very curious and careful as I seek to understand a client's heart. Nothing else really matters if you don't feel safe and seen by me, because it takes trust to do transformative work. It's an honor to get to journey with courageous people who pursue growth and I don't take it lightly.

What you can expect from me

My hope is you feel a semblance of peace and encouragement to just show up completely as you are. I also hope you leave with a renewed sense of hope and direction.
