Do you find yourself constantly anxious, overwhelmed or struggling with difficult emotions you don't understand. You long to feel calmer, more secure, and less controlled by fear, guilt, or the pressure to hold everything together. Many of the women, moms or families I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of self-doubt, and unsure how to feel secure and confident. I specialize in Christian telehealth counseling helping clients heal attachment wounds, manage anxiety and intrusive thoughts, and build a stronger sense of emotional safety, self-trust, and stability in their daily lives and closest relationships.
Attachment wounds shape how you experience life, anxiety, closeness, conflict, and trust. You may fear abandonment, people-please, struggle with boundaries, or feel “too much” or “not enough.” Together we’ll understand these patterns and build more secure, grounded ways of relating to yourself and others.
My approach is friendly, collaborative, and evidence-based, integrating attachment therapy, EFT, CBT and ERP for anxiety/OCD, along with practical tools to calm overthinking and intrusive thoughts. I also thoughtfully integrate faith when requested, while welcoming clients of all backgrounds. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out today.
