Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience serving individuals and families in both private and community-based settings. I currently serve women who are seeking support in navigating depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, self-esteem, family and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

I am attentive to client's individual needs, providing a warm, holistic, person-centered space where clients feel heard, supported and connected. I primarily use CBT, talk therapy, and optional reading or writing exercises. We can certainly take a faith-based approach to therapy, connecting your goals and experiences directly to the Word of God together. My vision for the work I do is every client leaving session with their hope and confidence restored.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will center comfort, clarity, and building connection. We will go over all relevant information related to session and and clients will be able to share information about themselves and their goal(s) for therapy.
