I believe people's pain is holy and sacred ground and that every individual's story has value. I work with individuals and couples, and I'm passionate about understanding my clients' struggles and giving them hope for healing and redemption. In coming to counseling, my clients can be assured that I'll provide a safe, non-judgmental space for them to grow and find healing. Of particular interest to me is helping people who struggle with relationship difficulties, sexual intimacy issues, vaginismus, sexual shame, betrayal trauma, religious and sexual identity conflicts, spirituality, and conflict and boundary issues.
I am a certified sex therapist (CST) through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists and specialize in female sexual pain. I am trained in the APSATS' Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model to help individuals and couples find healing after sexual betrayal. I also have training in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, TBRI, and Brainspotting.
I provide an integrative therapeutic approach to meet the unique needs of each client as I utilize Systems Theory, Parts work, and The Eight Feelings. I believe my role as a counselor is to meet my clients where they are and help them experience freedom in who they are called and created to be as unique individuals. I look forward to working alongside you!
