Great to meet you!

Hi there!

Looking forward to meeting you! I have been practicing as a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist for over 20 years in different settings including schools, health centers, & neuropsychology | psychiatry. I love Jesus, travel, the great outdoors, entrepreneurial pursuits, real estate, healthy living, natural medicine, building relationships, and going deep!

With much passion, I now focus my practice in the areas of metabolic psychotherapy/obesity medicine, emotional eating, life transitions, Christian-based inner healing work, and somatically releasing trapped emotions from the body to live your LIFE to the FULL!

My approach to therapy

I hold a Christian worldview that believes we are brilliantly and beautifully designed in the image of God, made up of 3 parts--body, soul, & spirit. Life works better when these 3 parts-of-self are healthy. It is difficult to have good mental health if we are struggling physically, and vice versa.

You are not here by chance or mistake. I believe we are all born into this world with gifts, talents and purpose....and then "life happens." I believe as we work through the traumas and do the necessary emotional work, we can live healthier, happier, freer lives and create meaningful impact in the world.

What you can expect from me

I start with an introductory session where you'll have the opportunity to tell me a little about yourself and your story, ask questions, and share your desired growth goals.

We will connect and jointly make a decision on our "fit" together because therapeutic alignment is key to the best experience and outcomes for you!
