Therapist

Virtual • Washington


Hi there! You’ve already taken one of the hardest steps toward a healthier life by being here. That takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here.

I believe every person has inherent dignity, worth, and the capacity for growth. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you pursue healing, hope, and meaningful change.

I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Regent University School of Psychology and Counseling. My graduate training included a concentration in spirituality and was grounded in the belief, “To God alone be the glory.” That perspective continues to shape my work today. I approach counseling with humility, recognizing that healing can occur in many ways, and I am honored to use my clinical training in service to others with compassion, respect, and evidence based care.

I welcome individuals from all faiths, spiritual traditions, cultural backgrounds, and those who do not identify with a religion. Whether faith is central to your life or not, therapy will be tailored to your values, beliefs, culture, and personal goals. If you would like to incorporate spirituality into your care, I am honored to support that part of your journey.

During my clinical training, I specialized in healthy relationships, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. I also have extensive experience in suicide prevention, crisis intervention, behavioral health, anxiety, depression, trauma, moral injury, grief and loss, relationship concerns, neurodiversity, parenting skills, individuals with special needs and their family members, LGBTQ+ concerns, and major life transitions.
