Life can feel overwhelming—marriages strained, relationships disconnected, anxiety constant, or transitions leaving you uncertain and unsure of your next step. I walk with individuals and couples with compassion and faith, using a Christian approach carefully tailored to your unique needs and goals. By blending biblical truth with proven therapy, we work together toward healing, restored hope, and deeper connection, helping you experience the lasting peace, joy, and wholeness God longs for in your life. I look forward to meeting you soon!
First I work to get to know you and understand your concerns. My approach focuses on core underlying issues causing your struggles, providing symptom reduction, relational health, and spiritual growth. ​I hold a MA in Counseling from the John Townsend Institute at Concordia University, an MDiv from Tozer Seminary and a DMin from Gordon-Conwell Seminary.
I am also a certified Life Coach. If you are experiencing relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, career transitions, and leadership challenges, It would be an honor to help guide you in these areas. Contact me for a 15 min. free consultation! I look forward to talking with you!
