I help children, teens, and adults who feel stuck in anxiety, ADHD, depression, and other mental health challenges. Rooted in my Christian faith, I partner with patients who are ready to get to the root, not just manage symptoms.

A universe stranger than we can suppose gave us personhood. We are thrown into this life where we remain a mystery unto ourselves. For many, the mystery of self becomes foregrounded only when life proves more complex, tragic, or disappointing than expected. During these times, people stumble backwards into a crisis of premise causing them to wonder: How did I become so alone and can anything be done about it? How did I come to lead a life that has so little to do with me? Why is it so hard to know how I feel and what I want? These questions bring people to psychotherapy seeking a way forward.

Guiding with presence, care & empathy, clients have autonomy to choose what is for them. Reconnect with one's authentic self sometimes hidden to maintain peace or expectations.
Integration of bodily awareness and psychological work, often by questioning old patterns. Real support includes setting personal boundaries that help prevent burnout and allow for safer more sustainable healing process. Move from victims of our past to architects of their future.
