Ready to stop pretending everything is fine? If you are running on empty, dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, or coping skills that no longer work, therapy can help. Using proven, clinical tools, we will work together to restore your peace. As a seasoned clinician specializing in trauma, I offer honest, down-to-earth counseling. I am Certified in EMDR and utilize CBT to help your brain and body truly process past hurts, not just manage symptoms. My expertise includes specialized training in critical incident response and supporting first responders—allowing me to navigate high-stress environments alongside you.
We will actively collaborate to unpack the past, set firm boundaries, and build practical skills. While Christian counseling is one of my specialties, you get to decide if faith plays a role in our sessions. My practice remains a safe, respectful, and supportive space, meeting you exactly where you are on your journey. I am firmly in your corner.
