Life can be incredibly difficult at times, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. When those moments come, I’m here to support you and walk beside you through the pain, helping you find a more peaceful place. We will work together to get to the other side of your struggles. I work with adults, couples, and families facing challenges like depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. As your therapist, you’ll find someone who is authentic, straight-forward, compassionate, and dedicated to truly understanding you. I’ll listen with care, encourage you through the hard parts, and at times, gently challenge you to see things differently.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Spiritual Therapy. CBT explores how our thoughts shape emotions and actions, while Spiritual Therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit connection and spiritual growth.

There’s so much more to life than just getting by, enduring pain, and fulfilling roles like being a mother, spouse, friend, or employee. The roadblocks & challenges can feel insurmountable, but I believe in your ability to find meaning, purpose, & sustainable joy. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to support you on this journey toward healing and fulfillment.

I work with clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression or trauma connected to their relationships or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we'll explore these issues in depth and work together to develop a plan that helps you reclaim your life. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first month, with continued progress over time.

I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice. In our first session, we'll discuss what led you to therapy and determine the best approach to help you move forward. With CBT, we'll explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. Throughout treatment, I'll guide you in challenging those thoughts to improve your feelings and overall well-being.
