I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a specialty in anxiety.
Along with evidence-based treatments, I infuse humor & creativity in my work with clients. But it's not all light & casual. Exposure therapy can be emotionally & mentally challenging - & at the same time - necessary to make lasting change with your anxiety symptoms. A gradual exposure process allows for small & measured practice - it's always at your pace.

It is an honor to have individuals share their struggles with me and trust me to offer support and tools for managing mood, anxiety, relationships, and professional/academic challenges.
Human beings are strongly relational and relationships can be a central part of healing emotional wounds. Because of this, I find treating couples issues to be a very rewarding part of my work.

We all want happiness. However, we could lose clarity that has once helped us make healthy decisions when life prompts us with challenging situations: marital problems, family discord, difficult parent-child relationships, acculturation issues, individual psychological problems, spiritual crisis, personal existential crisis, or transitional life issues. My calling is to help people find happiness, whether by developing new insights into their troubling predicaments, increasing mutual understanding amongst family members through effective communication, empowering human diversity, thereby fostering a satisfactory outcome.

I will use EMDR to help you increase insight into your biological responses, learn Christian resources to manage your anxiety, desensitize your response to triggers, and help you accurately process your past traumas so you can finally live a life free from anxiety and depression.
Have you noticed lately that you’ve been triggered more easily? Maybe you’ve been easily agitated (fight), experiencing heightened anxiety (flight), or have been mentally “shutting down” (freeze) more than usual? I work with adults struggling with their mental health who are looking for an integration of trauma therapy and their Christian faith.

Anxiety, OCD, or major life events—like career pressure, a new baby, relationship changes, or just trying to make sense of recent world events—have made it harder to feel grounded.
I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, panic, OCD, ADHD, life transitions, and high-pressure careers. Together, we’ll work to quiet the mental noise, explore patterns with curiosity, not judgment, and build tools to manage overwhelm. You’ve done so much on your own, but support can make all the difference in achieving lasting change.
