There is a Swahali Proverb that says, “every vessel has its own waves” and here at Ankura Wellness we can help you drop anchor and find solace amid the waves. Using a person-centered approach, I think it is important to offer support for the development of change and growth. You see, I believe therapy is a process. A process that is vulnerable to us and to our emotions. Often it can leave us feeling capsized, caught in a rip current, and unable to navigate the open water on our own. On that note, let me take a moment to introduce myself!

You may be carrying invisible burdens: trauma, rejection, anxiety, or the quiet ache of disconnection. Maybe you're feeling emotionally exhausted, spiritually distant, or stuck in once life-giving relationships. Therapy offers more than relief; it’s an opportunity to be restored, to come home to yourself. Rooted in the belief that healing is possible and sacred, I walk with individuals and couples through anxiety, distance from faith, and strained relationships, integrating clinical insight with spiritual understanding to help you reconnect with God, yourself, and each other.

I invite you to come and sit on my couch and allow me to guide you on your journey to healing and self-awareness. ~Verily, with every hardship comes ease.~

I have significant experience working with a wide variety of issues, including marital problems, family of origin issues, anxiety, depression, grief, and spirituality.
The thing I most enjoy about being a counselor is it gives me the opportunity to see how truly resilient people are. For more than 20 years I've had the privilege of working with couples who believed that their marriage was beyond repair, and with individuals who were convinced that they were broken. And I've seen those same individuals and couples work to develop new ways of thinking and relating to others, and work to confront past issues that were controlling their present. Working with each of those individuals and couples was a great privilege, and I would consider it a privilege to work with you as well!

I became a counselor because I witnessed the transformative power of being seen, heard, and supported during life's hardest moments. I know how heavy anxiety spirals into worry feel, when past trauma lingers and affects daily life, life transitions leave you lost or overwhelmed, relationships strain under unspoken hurts, or a new baby brings unexpected sadness instead of joy. Having someone walk alongside you through these challenges, or seasons of growth, is profoundly impactful. My passion is helping individuals and couples feel empowered, understood, and equipped for lasting change.

My journey into counseling was shaped by years of serving others on the frontlines and witnessing the physical, emotional, and spiritual impact of trauma firsthand. I bring that same sense of compassion, discipline, and calm under pressure into the therapy space.

You are “the strong one,” everyone leans on, confident and grounded in your faith, but deep down, you're struggling to hold yourself together, carrying hidden grief and scars, wondering if anyone sees the fragility behind your strength. Despite being resilient and capable, you constantly adjust to life transitions, unmet expectations, and deal with disappointment, depression, and anxiety. You feel stuck, vulnerable, lack support, and question God's will. You're ready to make a change, get to the root of your problems, let go of past traumas, express emotions without shame, and live life authentically. I want to help you get there.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
