Amazing First Step! It's not easy trying to find the right person to partner with you on this healing journey. Are feeling overwhelmed with relationships, college, work or other life transition issues? Do you feel stressed, anxious, or depressed? Have you been hurt in your spiritual relationships in church in the past? My desire is for you to unlock the strength & purpose in you and provide empathy, guidance, and support. I work with individuals without judgement and create a supportive environment to heal. My goal is to create a safe place for you walk in wholeness and restoration.

My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, and inviting. My approach is based on the identified needs of you-the client. I believe that every client is unique & the tools to support them should fit their specific needs. By working with diverse populations for over 20 years, I have found success with helping others find hope and answers inside of themselves.

If you are struggling with anxiety, feelings of depression, past or current childhood trauma, church hurt, feelings of rejection, relationship issues, or life just feels unbearable, please reach out. You're not alone! To get started- email me, include a brief description of what you're facing, your insurance type (if any), and I'll respond within 24-48hrs.

If you've been hurt while in church, reach out! It's a privilege to walk alongside those who are seeking to recover from "church hurt". I also encourage you to reach out if you are a first-time therapy goer. I know that the beginning process of healing can be a challenge. It helps to have the right fit in a therapist! I also, understand the overwhelming feeling of finding someone that "gets" you.
