I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I see every client as a human with dignity. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships issues, and religious harm.

Some of the common struggles I see my clients face are the stigma around asking for help, low self-worth, and unresolved past painful experiences leading them to feel stuck. I have experience helping children all ages, families, and couples navigate through mental health, trauma, or addiction challenges. My experience in community mental health, agencies, and private practice, as well as Christian foundation provides a compassionate and effective approach.
