Don’t let anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship struggles take one more second from your life! I work with couples, adults, teens and children who want to overcome anxious thoughts, past hurts and relationship struggles. When an adult steps in my office, I help them feel actual relief from anxiety, depression and past trauma because I use EMDR a proven treatment that is more than just talking. In my work with kids, I use play therapy, involving laughter, play, and building new skills. Unlike traditional talk therapy, your kids won’t feel bored in my office, but they will be learning new skills that can lasting change.

I believe that every person, regardless of what psychological issues they are dealing with, has the potential and ability to work through their struggles, when given the tools to do so. I utilize the recovery model approach that supports a hopeful and non-judgement understanding of an individual’s challenges. I believe that a person should never feel defined by their mental health issues, and that change is ALWAYS possible. I help people find solutions by using appropriate therapeutic tools, and by building on individual strengths.

Life can feel overwhelming at any stage whether navigating the intensity of adolescence, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or quietly carrying stress that no one else sees. Reaching out for support takes courage, and you deserve a space where you feel both understood and gently challenged toward growth. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, helping them move from cycles of conflict, anxiety, and disconnection toward clarity, confidence, and deeper connection. My style is direct yet nurturing — I believe in being honest and insightful while creating a space that feels emotionally safe and supportive.

People often come to therapy feeling stuck in the same painful patterns — tired of the conflict, distance, built up resentment, or loss of trust. I help individuals and couples find direction when they feel disconnected or at a crossroads. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin to find clarity and relief. Meaningful change happens in safe, supportive relationships.

Christian faith integration is available by request.
Leaders, including executives, entrepreneurs, ministry professionals, and others carrying significant responsibility, often do so quietly and in isolation. Even high-capacity individuals can find themselves juggling stress, burnout, anxiety, relational strain, or a loss of clarity and purpose. As a licensed psychologist (PhD) providing telehealth across 43 states, I offer high-level clinical care for people navigating demanding roles who need a private, grounded space to be fully honest.

When your mind and life no longer feel like your own, it can be difficult to know where to begin. I work with individuals navigating traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery, PTSD, as well as juveniles impacted by the criminal justice system. These experiences often bring overwhelming changes, new limitations, and a sense of disconnection from identity. Many feel misunderstood or unsure how to move forward. Together, we focus on restoring stability, building coping skills, and reconnecting with a sense of self that feels authentic and sustainable.

Something tipped the scale – a crisis, life transition, or enough of the same thing. You’ve tried to get through on your own in healthy and unhealthy ways, and now, you're ready for something different. While your story is your own, my clients find comfort in having an experienced therapist support them in navigating the themes, feelings, and difficulties that are more common than they ever knew. It’s less lonely that way. I often use EMDR to help clients reprocess difficult or traumatic experiences, to find relief from symptoms, feelings, and thoughts about themselves, that have been troubling them recently or for years.

I work with you to find a way forward in your life. I welcome all people regardless of age, gender, race, sexual preference, gender identity, faith, or ability to pay.

You are the woman who looks like she has it all together- career, family, that bright smile... yet finds herself crying, quietly when no one’s watching. You have been labeled “strong” but that strength feels like both armor and burden.
Behind it all, you’re exhausted. You’re carrying heartbreak, burnout or deep-rooted relational wounds and you’re done pretending everything is fine. You crave a place to exhale, to tell your truth without judgment, without explaining, without apologizing.
I see you, and I’m here for that.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
