You don’t have to navigate this alone. I specialize in walking alongside ministry leaders and pastors who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying the weight of others while silently struggling themselves. In the pressures of spiritual leadership, it’s easy to feel like you must keep performing, even when your soul is weary. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and be fully seen — not for what you do, but for who you are. Healing begins with connection, not performance, and together we’ll explore your story, uncover your strength, and rediscover your hope.

Trying to keep up with everything is getting to be too much. The projects at work or maintaining a business have become challenging. The chores and the to-do list have gotten longer. The kids have yet another event scheduled and you are not in the mood to cook dinner. Not only that, your mental health has suffered due to past trauma or stressors, leaving your relationships in shambles, your goals left undone, your mood on a constant rollercoaster, and your needs last on the list. I know this story all too well because I am not afraid to admit, I’ve been where you are. I get it and you’re ready to shift out of it.

Do you find yourself replaying the breakup in your mind, wondering if it was your fault, if you were "too much" or "not enough"? Are anxiety and self-doubt creeping in, making it hard to trust yourself or imagine a future where you feel secure and loved again? Breakups can leave deep wounds, especially when fueled by underlying insecurity and anxiety. On the other hand, maybe you’re entering or navigating motherhood. Are you feeling the weight of trying to conceive, riding the emotional rollercoaster of hope and disappointment month after month?Have you recently conceived and now feel gripped by unexpected waves of anxiety and fear?

Do you find yourself stuck in patterns filled with anxiety, disconnection, and conflict? Despite your best efforts, self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy take over. You want to move forward, but the past holds you back, building walls around your true self. Each day, you carry hidden burdens from past experiences that overshadow the present moment. You crave change but are uncertain about how to break free from this cycle. You're ready to become emotionally grounded, understand your needs, set protective boundaries, and connect with your authentic self to create balanced and fulfilling relationships.

Do you feel anxious, disconnected, or like you’re never enough? Maybe you look “high-functioning” on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted or longing for more. These patterns often come from old survival strategies—ways you learned to stay safe by pleasing others, staying small, or pushing through. They’re not your fault—but they can leave you feeling stuck. I help to heal relationship wounds, self-worth struggles, and the lingering impact of stress and trauma. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in mind-body therapy (NARM), which helps you understand the past without getting lost in it.

My goal is to assist you as you work to engage in life more authentically using effective nervous system regulation and increasing skillfulness. I believe that people are always doing the best that they can with the resources that they have, and they also want and need to deal with the hardships of life more effectively - that's where I step in to support, accept, educate, and guide. Some of my areas of specialization include Addiction, Anxiety, BPD, Depression, Identity Exploration, Trauma Processing, & Relationships and Communication.

We're bombarded by media and societal pressures that make us critical of ourselves and our appearance. It often feels like we're both the bully and the victim in our own minds. I specialize in supporting people dealing with eating disorders, OCD, body image issues, gender dysphoria, trauma, and co-occurring conditions. Having faced my own battles with body image, I understand the journey of learning to love oneself. This personal experience has equipped me to assist others in their own path to self-worth.
