You may be doing your best to keep everything together while anxiety, depression, or stress makes everyday life feel more overwhelming than it should. Perhaps your mind rarely slows down, you have been struggling to manage difficult emotions, or family and relationship challenges are leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, grief or loss, men's issues, and identity concerns. These challenges can also overlap with trauma, PTSD, stress management, anger management, or end of life concerns, especially when emotional struggles, personal identity, and life transitions begin affecting one another. With 6 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported without judgment. Together, we can explore what has been weighing on you, build on your existing strengths, and develop healthier ways of coping that help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to what matters most.

I practice overtly Christian counseling: faith is not an add-on to my therapy, it is the foundation. Healing involves the whole person, and for believers that includes your spiritual life.

Our work will make room for both what you are experiencing today and the relationships, losses, responsibilities, and experiences that have shaped how you got here. We’ll explore how anger management, end of life concerns, grief or loss, maternal mental health concerns, and stress management may be affecting your emotional wellbeing, relationships, and ability to feel grounded in everyday life. I may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize patterns in thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and develop healthier ways of responding, Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how earlier experiences and relationships may influence the emotions and patterns you notice today, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help you process difficult experiences that continue to carry emotional weight. Our sessions will be collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to what you need, balancing deeper exploration with practical ways to manage difficult emotions and create meaningful change.

You do not need to know exactly what is underneath everything you are feeling before therapy can begin. During our first few sessions, we will take time to understand what brought you here, what has been most difficult lately, and what you hope will feel different. Together, we will create goals that feel meaningful and realistic and decide where it makes the most sense to start. You can expect me to bring warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity to our conversations while creating a space where difficult emotions, grief, stress, and painful experiences can be discussed without judgment. Progress may look like responding to anger in healthier ways, feeling more capable of managing stress, finding ways to carry grief without feeling consumed by it, feeling more supported through maternal or life changes, or finding greater peace while navigating end of life concerns. We will continue checking in on your goals and shape our work around what helps you feel more grounded, supported, and capable moving forward.
