Some things you've been carrying for so long they've started to feel like part of who you are. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who are navigating trauma, grief, loss, and the weight of experiences that don't just go away on their own. People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic situations, gender expressions, and sexual orientations find a real home in my practice, including folks within the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard in a way they haven't before.

I offer a warm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and grow. My approach is integrative and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to meet your needs. If you choose, we can incorporate Christian values, scripture, and prayer into your healing process.

I predominantly work with Christian females and also see males and non-faith-based clients. We'll create a space where both your emotional and spiritual life are honored. Whether you want to process difficult emotions, build healthier coping strategies, or reconnect with your identity and purpose, I'll meet you with empathy and evidence-based tools.
