I help clients heal from trauma—whether from childhood, relationships, or life-altering events—who struggle with anxiety, shame, or disconnection. I am able to offer a grounded, compassionate presence—one that can hold the weight of your story without judgment or the urgency to “fix it.” Together, we make space for grief, resilience, identity, and hope to emerge at your pace. I also support clients who wish to explore how their faith can serve as a foundation for healing, clarity, and meaning.
I specialize in trauma recovery, helping clients heal from childhood trauma, abusive relationships, and life-changing events. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and CBT, I create a safe, supportive space tailored to your needs. For those seeking faith-based care, I integrate Christian principles to foster hope, healing, and transformation.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to carry the weight of past trauma or unresolved pain. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can work toward healing, hope, and a renewed sense of purpose. Your story matters, and there is a path forward. If you’re ready to take the first step toward change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
