Maybe you're the one everyone leans on, and you've started to wonder when someone will lean back for you. Or maybe anxiety has followed you so long it feels like a personality trait, not something that can actually change. For more than six years, I've worked with teens, adults, and mothers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the particular exhaustion that comes from holding everything together. My work is built on one conviction: nothing is wrong with you. Your mind and body are doing exactly what they were designed to do. They've just learned patterns that no longer serve you. I have a special heart for mothers who have spent years carrying everyone else's weight while quietly believing they're not enough. If that's you, I'd be honored to help you rediscover your voice. For clients who are seeking it, I'm happy to integrate Christian counseling into our sessions.

Therapy with me feels like a conversation with direction. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches, weaving psychoeducation throughout. One thing clients often tell me they appreciate: I love to teach. When you understand how your brain, nervous system, and emotional patterns work together, self-compassion comes a lot more naturally than self-criticism. My approach is collaborative and individualized.

Your first session is about beginning, not about having the right words. We'll talk about what's bringing you here, what you've been carrying, and where you feel most stuck. There's no pressure to share everything at once. Many clients tell me they leave the first session feeling relieved because, for the first time, their experiences make sense. You don't have to navigate this alone.
