Sometimes we all can use a little help on life's journey--when things seem dark, when we feel like we are drowning in emotions, challenges, or thoughts, or when we just need someone to help with focus as we set a course toward achieving our goals. That is what therapy is all about! Therapy is not having someone with all the right answers tell you what to do or doing things to you; it is having a professional guide to draw out your goals and strengths, to breathe hope into difficult times, and to assist with perspective and skills. As Rumi said, "The wound is where the light enters you." Come, find hope, and refuel for your journey.
I've helped clients with issues such as depression, trauma, relationships, adjustment, addictions, grief, career, emotional disturbances, abuse, sexual orientation, faith, self-exploration, anxiety, and crisis during study abroad. Although I am especially equipped to help with Christian spiritual issues, all are welcome; your values/faith will be respected.
I am bilingual, have spent significant time in Mexico, with a gift for transcending cultural boundaries. My diverse training and experience prepare me to use a variety of modalities rather than try to squeeze you into a box. Special areas of strength include helping men, LGBTQ+ clients, trauma survivors, those in academia, and/or with connected faith issues.

I work with clients with a wide variety of issues. I have a special interest in helping those who have been traumatized, including traumatization from social institutions like faith communities. Although I see clients from all gender representations, men make up the majority of my practice currently. Ease with crossing cultural borders is one of my strengths.

I am very eclectic, mixing and blending my therapeutic colors to match the client and the moment rather than forcing one or another. From my palette, I find myself using a lot of Internal Family Systems and Narrative therapy, integrating popular cinema/tv and the arts.
