Can people really change? Could life be more enjoyable? What if I wasn't afraid to be the real me? My clients come with questions like these and find more is possible than they imagined! What questions are you longing to explore? I'm happy to be taking Aetna insurance and several others. Some of my favorite folks to work with are: - individuals who would like Christian-based counseling - therapy first-timers - therapists in training (or licensed!) - couples wanting to improve their communication, reduce conflict, and build lasting intimacy - individuals looking for support during challenging or transitional times in their lives
My clients get my undivided attention as they share about their current challenges, disappointments, heartbreaks, and places where they feel stuck. Together, we uncover the obstacles and plan their next steps toward breakthrough. Along the journey, I offer practical, proactive ways to improve your current situation and find joy in life again!
Honestly, it can be hard to find a Christian therapist in the sea of therapy choices out there. So, I'm happy you found my profile! Whether you are an individual facing personal challenges or a couple frustrated with your relationship, I look forward to helping you work toward real and lasting breakthrough!

I regularly use a mix of Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies in my practice. As we begin working together, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, your background, and your hopes for our work together. This will help me determine what therapies might be most beneficial for you. I enjoy working with my clients to co-create a path forward toward their goals.
