It can be exhausting it can be to carry the ongoing effects of trauma, depression, or anxiety. You try to stay strong, but the past still shows up in ways that make daily life harder than it needs to be. You’re looking for a place to feel grounded, supported, and able to move toward real healing — not just coping, but genuinely feeling better. If your Christian faith is an important part of your life, I’m able to integrate spiritual perspectives into our work. If not, we’ll simply focus on what feels most supportive and meaningful for you.
I specialize in treating trauma, depression, and anxiety with emotionally-focused therapy for individual and couples (EFIT/EFCT). I will walk alongside you on this part of your journey—holding space for your pain, and working with you to uncover new perspectives, and to learn skills and strategies so you can thrive.
It’s my priority that you feel safe before we explore how your past impacts your present. There will be space to grieve what has been lost or stolen and to reclaim your future. The work can be hard, but I will be there each step of the way and it will be worth it. You are not alone. Please get in touch with me for a free consultation!

I specialize in complex trauma, e.g., childhood neglect or abuse, and in relationship issues (couples and marriage). I work through an attachment lens, which means your relationships - past and present - matter. I typically start with an attachment history, which helps us understand the cycles at work internally and in your relationships. From there, we start work on shifting these cycles.
