I enjoy helping clients who want to grow.. Learning to make healthier choices leads to more positive outcomes! Through life experiences we often develop self-defeating beliefs that can interfere with our wellbeing, growth and relationships. My goal is to always help each client(s) pursue the definition of mental health which is, "Obtaining a psychological state of well being, characterized by continuing personal growth, a sense of purpose in life, self-acceptance, and positive relations with others". I am fluent in physical, emotional, and sexual trauma recovery as well as other challenging life issues and stressors.

Are you and your partner growing further apart — physically, emotionally, or both?
Maybe intimacy has become painful, avoided, or feels like a distant memory. Maybe you're lying next to someone you love, yet feeling completely alone. You're not broken — and your relationship may not be either.
As a licensed Sex Therapist, I've helped countless couples go from feeling stuck and hopeless to feeling truly close again. I specialize in sexual trauma, dysfunction, and the disconnection that quietly erodes even loving relationships.
If you're ready to thrive — not just survive — I'd love to help.

I also offer Christian-based counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process as part of their healing and growth.
Therapy with me is equal parts insight, strategy, and the occasional reality check—delivered with humor. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating a range of challenges—from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem to high-conflict relationship dynamics and processing the impact of trauma. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space. I have experience supporting individuals with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, as well as those who identify as “people pleasers” and struggle to set boundaries.

My goal is to walk alongside you on your journey and provide the support you need on the journey. There is no judgement based on diagnosis or background. I have spent most of my clinician career working with those with severe mental illness diagnosis or requiring residential mental health treatment. For those transitioning from that setting it is hard to find a clinician and one of my goals is to be able to walk alongside those in transition from residential or intensive mental health treatment as they re-integrate back home.

It's easy to lose focus and forget who we want to be when the world feels overwhelming and scary. Anxiety, depression, and trauma often hook into us and tell us that life has no purpose beyond just somehow surviving our pain - leaving us feeling stuck and afraid. As your therapy partner, I want to help you navigate the stress of hardships, create meaning, and find new direction for your life. We can reconnect you with your values and to what and who matters most to you - to help you find balance and healing. You can change your life and unhook from what keeps you trapped in old patterns of merely surviving. You can thrive!

The impact of depression, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, interpersonal stressors, and varying traumas that we have faced are just a few aspects that can hinder us from finding joy and freedom in our daily lives. Some of us need more boundaries in our lives, while others may need to learn how to cope with the realities that life has brought. It is my goal to help you enhance your abilities to reach the fulfilled life you are looking for, by utilizing the strengths that you already carry within.

You love your baby so much, but becoming a parent is also the hardest thing you've ever done in your life. You wonder if you're cut out for this, if you will ever sleep again, if you and your partner will make it through this. You wonder who you even are anymore. You want to be able to soak up every moment and you truly enjoy your baby, but intrusive thoughts, crying spells, and unexpected rage come out of nowhere. Everything has changed: your body, your marriage, your friendships, your brain, your identity. You need time and space to make sense of it all, to come up for air, to be seen and heard when you so often feel invisible.

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.
