You may be feeling anxious, burdened, or worn down – struggling with relationships, grief, trauma, depression, or persistent self-criticism. Perhaps you long not only for relief, but for deeper healing, clarity, and rest. Many people I work with want therapy that goes beyond symptom reduction to engage the whole person – emotionally, relationally, bodily, and meaningfully. This includes those seeking a thoughtful space to make sense of suffering and grow toward a more grounded, purposeful life, as well as Christians who want therapy that takes faith seriously without minimizing psychological complexity.
I am a registered psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I offer an evidence-based, holistic approach to therapy. Drawing from a range of modalities, I help people engage emotions, transform suffering, and grow in wisdom and values-guided living. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian spiritual formation practices into therapy.
I see therapy as a place of honesty and hope – where we face what is heavy while learning new ways to rest, relate, and grow. My work is shaped by values of compassion, genuineness, and courage, and I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds. If you’re ready to engage your struggles with openness and resolve, I would be glad to walk alongside you.

I begin by listening to your story and helping you become more emotionally grounded. From there, we explore and transform patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, grief, shame, anger, or relational distress. The aim is lasting change: greater resilience, self-understanding, and a life shaped by your deepest values and, when desired, spiritual commitments.
