Life can take us down many different roads. Sometimes those roads can have bumps, holes, or be so deteriorated that it's difficult to travel. Counseling is an effective way to navigate life's difficulties. I treat a wide range of issues such as depression and other mood problems, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, life changes, adjustment to disability, behavioral issues and many more. Over my career, I have had opportunities to work with all ages and varied mental health problems. My goal for everyone I treat is to help them identify their problems and work to resolve those issues so that they can move forward in life.

I am a licensed therapist who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or major life changes that have left them feeling unbalanced or uncertain. I enjoy working with people who value growth and want to understand themselves better, but need a supportive space to process emotions and learn new ways of coping or communicating. For clients who desire it, I offer faith-informed counseling and can incorporate Christian perspectives into therapy in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. While my faith informs how I understand healing and hope, I honor each client’s unique worldview and values.

You may feel stuck in patterns your mind understands but your body won’t release. Trauma, chronic stress, or early relational wounds may live in your nervous system as anxiety, numbness, shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You’re tired of “just talking” and want healing that actually shifts things. Through trauma-informed, mind-body, somatic, and inner child work, we focus on restoring safety, regulation, and connection—so younger parts can finally be heard and lasting change can occur.

I want to be a safe place and a refuge for my clients to feel free and open to discuss whatever is keeping them feeling stuck. My goal is to help them heal and overcome the difficulties that bring them into my office by being an ally, a supporter, and a trusted confidante. I believe the power of healing largely lies in the relationship a client, no matter their age, has with their therapist and I hold that responsibility very highly. I want my clients to feel heard, seen, and validated during our work together.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
