I am a Christian Therapist. If you’re looking for someone who is grounded, approachable, and genuinely invested in your growth, you’re in the right place. Clients often tell me how real and easy it feels to talk with me. You won’t be rushed, minimized, or talked at. You’ll be heard, supported, and guided with tools you can begin using right away, not months down the road. I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship strain, spiritual questions, and major life transitions. My approach is practical, compassionate, and faith-informed, helping you move forward with clarity.

Sometimes our lives get out of balance. Life throws more on our plate than we believe we can handle and our ability to cope starts to deteriorate. You're willing to work, but it may be difficult to find your way out of the box you feel trapped in. When you're in crisis, you don't want to wait for services and you certainly don't want to feel like just another number in line. You want help right away so you can get on with your life. My commitment is to provide that quality of care in a timely manner.

I incorporate it into treatment when appropriate. I am also trained to do EMDR for treating trauma.

You’ve read the books, tried to communicate better, maybe even learned the “right” words to use—but somehow, it still feels like you’re speaking different languages. You crave closeness, yet find yourself shutting down or walking on eggshells. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, trauma-aware, or simply deeply sensitive—and tired of being told you’re “too much.” The truth is, you’re not broken; you’re ready for a relationship and life that feel more authentic, grounded, and connected. I help individuals and couples unlearn old patterns, heal attachment wounds, and finally feel understood. On the other side of the discomfort is freedom!
