As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Psychology (PsyD), I operate from a Christian worldview where faith and science are complementary truths. Instead of an outside-in secular template that applies an external framework to your experiences, I use an inside-out approach tailored to theistic cultures. This means we build therapy directly from within your faith foundation. Your belief in God or a Higher Power is your spiritual baseline; starting here, we harmonize evidence-based psychological science to support your deep healing, restoration, and growth.
I specialize in theistically anchored care across two tracks: Christian-Integrationist and General Psycho-Spiritual. I integrate your faith with clinical science, utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Positive Psychology to foster profound restoration, meaning, and flourishing.
If you are carrying heavy burdens or feeling stuck in a painful chapter, please know you do not have to walk alone. Your story, your struggles, and your faith matter. I offer a compassionate space where your beliefs are truly honored as the foundation of your healing. If you are ready for profound restoration, I invite you to reach out today.
