As a psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to provide support in healing trauma from a perspective that does not only account for psychological wounds but also the wounds that have impacted our souls.

I believe in resilience, healing, hope and God's providence in the plan of our lives. I help individuals, couples and families repair their relationships and gain coping skills for their struggles with anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, life event changes and grief. I also have experience working with people struggling to overcome addictions. I am passionate about helping pregnant and postpartum families regain balance after adding a new family member.

In my work with couples and families, I use Gottman Method Therapy, and explore how early attachment styles might impact their dynamic. I utilize exercises and tools during therapy that help build strong communication skills among family members. In helping treat anxiety, panic and depression, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a trauma-informed approach along with providing concrete examples of how to utilize coping skills during rough times such as panic and stressful events.I look forward to being a part of your healing journey.

The first session will be a 50 minute session in which I will conduct assessment and the client will create goals for therapy.
