As a doctoral-level clinician and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I am employed by CentrePointe Counseling, a Christian counseling practice dedicated to providing Christ-centered professional counseling for individuals, couples, and families. I work with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity concerns, and spiritual struggles. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and trauma-informed care—with Christian principles when desired by the client.
In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as an adjunct faculty member in counselor education, teaching graduate students in family systems, counseling ethics, and spiritual integration. I also contribute to professional scholarship in marriage and family counseling, with publications focusing on the integration of evidence-based psychotherapy.
Life's greatest burdens are often the thoughts we carry and the emotional wounds that leave us feeling overwhelmed. I believe every person has the capacity for healing and growth, and therapy provides a safe place to rediscover hope, develop healthier perspectives, and create lasting change.
