Welcome. Thank you for taking the first step toward wholeness. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on systemic and relational healing. This includes journeying with my clients through ancestral, childhood, and adulthood life challenges to help them access and address pain.

Specializing in Intimacy and Relationships

With a particular interest in sexual dysfunction and intimate relationship problems, I accept you exactly as you are, offering unconditional positive regard throughout your therapeutic journey.

Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.

I have a special interest in resiliency and thriving after trauma. I am dedicated to supporting you as you determine the path and pace that best suits your needs.

As a body-centered psychotherapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can change the way the past impacts our present. I am person-centered and utilize mindfulness practices, body-centered psychotherapy, experiential and Brain Spotting as well as Cognitive Behavioral in my practice.
