My passion is helping transgender/gender diverse folks and the people that love them throughout their transition journey. I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and healing trauma.
I provide a nonjudgmental, compassionate, and confidential space where you can express yourself freely. My priority is to create an environment where you feel heard, valued, and respected. I believe therapy is not “one-size-fits-all.” I tailor my approach based on your unique needs, experiences, and goals, using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Strategies.
Therapy is a collaborative process, and I will walk alongside you. I empower you to set the pace, make decisions, and discover solutions that work best for you. While we address challenges, I also highlight your resilience, strengths, and personal growth, helping you recognize the progress you are making along the way.
I understand that life can be overwhelming, and I will never expect perfection from you. I approach my work with authenticity, empathy, and a sense of humor when appropriate because I believe healing happens best when we can be real.
There is no "right way" to heal, and setbacks are part of growth. I am here to support you in moments of triumph as well as struggle, without pressure or unrealistic expectations. If something isn't working for you, we can adjust. Your comfort and trust in this process matter, and I encourage open communication to ensure therapy is effective and meaningful for you.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and create a life that aligns with your values and well-being. You are not alone, and I am honored to be part of your journey.
I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a psychotherapist in practice for over 10 years, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.
Refuge Therapy is, foremost, a safe space where anyone can feel known and understood during a challenging time in their life. Many of my clients come from the following groups: emerging adults, caregivers -- including pastors, nurses, teachers, and couples. My goal is to help clients connect with truth, beauty, and goodness in their lives.If you are experiencing emotional distress, marital and/or parenting challenges, or other struggles, I can be a safe person to help you process your story. As soon as you reach out, I would be happy to provide a place of refuge supporting you as you take the next step in your healing process.
