Whether you’re exhausted from trying to manage everything, weighed down by loss, or fighting to keep it together—you don’t have to face it alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience, I've walked with individuals and families through life’s hardest challenges. I work with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, trauma, recovery, and parenting struggles. When desired, my approach blends clinical modalities with Christian faith to bring hope and healing. What matters most is that our therapeutic relationship is built on trust and care so that we can do our best work.
I shape each session around you—sometimes learning practical strategies, other times creating space for deeper emotion, and often a balance of both. I listen closely to what matters most and, when faith is part of your story, we may draw on it as a source of strength, healing, and renewal so that hope feels near and lasting change becomes possible.
Whatever brought you here—anxiety, loss, exhaustion, or simply feeling unlike yourself—you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Therapy can offer both a safe place to process and a steady path forward. If you’re ready for change but unsure where to begin, I'd be honored to walk with you and meet you with compassion and care.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, or the lingering impact of relational or family trauma. In our early sessions, we'll take time to understand your story and create a plan for healing that supports both emotional and spiritual restoration. Many of my clients report improvement within the first few weeks and continued growth as we walk through the process together.
