First & foremost: I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I believe in the healing power of a strong relationship with God. That said, ALL are welcome! You don't have to share my faith to reach out for help! I specialize in helping adults heal from complex trauma, and I work with military service members & their families, veterans, first responders, and neurodivergent individuals. If you’re carrying the weight of past experiences and want a safe space to process, I’d be honored to walk with you. My approach is collaborative and faith-friendly: you set the pace, and I’ll walk beside you with care, insight, and respect for your story.
I am a both a Christian counselor and a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) with several years' experience with PTSD & complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more. I am trained in EMDR, DBT, IFS & mindfulness-based stress reduction. More importantly, I believe in seeing you as a whole person rather than as a diagnosis.
I know it can feel intimidating to reach out for help, especially if you're doing it for the first time. I applaud your courage and encourage you to see for yourself that the scariest part is in the buildup to reaching out; the relief follows. Let's chat for a minute or two and you can make up your mind about whether or not I might be of service to you.
