Like war, trauma from adult and childhood abuse, hurt from church and family have left many of us just limping through life. Just because you are use to the pain, it doesn't mean you or your love ones should continue to live with the pain. I am honest and I like to see results. I also like to work with clients that are ready to be honest and put in the work to see their desired results. I primarily see adult women with trauma and couples in need of support! My office has clinicians that see individuals of all ages! I am also a Qualified Supervisor that is passionate about supporting future therapists on their journey!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Board-Certified Chaplain (BCC) with the Association of Professional Chaplains. Do you feel stuck in your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors? Are you grieving the loss of someone you love? Do you feel alone in the journey of life?

I believe that together we can begin to create a path forward, one that leads toward hope, meaning, and the goals that matter most to you.

Are you a Christian struggling with anxiety, ADHD, or feeling stuck and unsure how to create real, lasting change in your daily life? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. I support Christians who want their faith to be an active, meaningful part of their healing process. Many of the people I work with experience anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty speaking up for themselves in relationships, at work, or in everyday situations. They often feel caught in patterns they’re ready to change, but aren’t sure where to begin.

You've caught a glimpse of yourself unfolding the fullness of your capacities back into the universe. Sometimes you dare to believe this person could really be you. But how exactly are you moving forward into such a reality? Your attempts thus far have met with resistance, uncertainty, and excruciating pain. Some days, the very reasons to keep going seem to evaporate.

Being a counselor is a great privilege! I enjoy walking with people through some of the darkest times of their lives as they move forward to reaching their goals. The environment of the client-therapist relationship is unique and powerful. Within this context, growth is contagious. It's amazing to watch people say things like "I finally know and like myself" and feel that they no longer feel "stuck" or full of confusion or regrets. In order to be engaged in this process, I believe in being genuine, caring, and straight-forward.

If you feel "stuck" in emotional or physical reactivity, you aren't alone. You may be struggling with depression, insecurity, or specific phobias like flying, elevators, spiders, or needles. Perhaps you are haunted by "stuck" trauma images, night terrors, or panic attacks that make you feel out of control. You aren’t just looking to talk about the problem; you want to resolve it. Whether navigating deep grief or religious trauma, your goal is a lasting peace. You deserve a space where you are truly seen and where real, transformative change is possible.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
