With over fifteen years of experience, I strive to provide a safe and secure place for individuals to address emotional and psychological problems that often result in personal suffering and struggling relationships. I place great emphasis on empathy and believe that we all encounter deep dark places that are best worked through when we have a safe and compassionate person to walk alongside us through the journey. Helping others find a way forward in order to experience a fully present and more joyful life is very important to me.

You may look like you have it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you can’t fully explain. Many of the people I work with are carrying unresolved grief, trauma, or emotional pain that has quietly shaped how they relate to themselves and others. They’re functioning—but exhausted—and often wonder why things still feel so heavy despite their best efforts. I work with young adults and middle-aged adults navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, and PTSD, especially those who feel deeply responsible for others yet struggle to feel grounded or at peace themselves.

I'm here for the girls. If you're a woman (or a parent of a girl 13+) who feels broken, anxious, and like the world speaks a different language than you, I'm here to help you decipher the code with love and patience. Trauma, chronic illness, and neurodivergence change the way we view the world and how we approach it, but we can work together, in the name of Jesus, to bring your heart and mind peace despite it all. There is hope, no matter what, and I want to make sure you see it.

Are you in a relationship that's manipulative? Or are you unsure and need some clarity? If you've recently left a challenging relationship, I'm here for you and can be a guiding and healing hand. Relationships are an intricate dance, and we all have moments of imperfection; however, those missteps leave us feeling drained, hurt and afraid. You may feel like you're sacrificing your own needs in order to please your partner. You don’t want them to feel any discomfort even if it' costs of your own well-being. But, amidst all your selfless efforts, you don't feel loved in return. You hope that it will change, but it never does.

Personally, I am a Christian, and am well-versed in theology and faith practices.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of your life circumstances or relationships? Are you tired of negative thought patterns that leave you depressed and anxious? Has a recent loss, through death or divorce left you agonizing and stuck? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I would love to come alongside you. I will lend support and a fresh perspective as you process your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, and help you progress from where you are to where you want to be. Sometimes progress comes through acceptance and other times through targeted action; I'd be honored to help you with either or both.

EMDR Intensives are an accelerated, trauma focused therapy model that allow for healing and growth faster than possible with normal weekly therapy, and may include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Christian counseling, and sex therapy.
You’re insightful, high-achieving, and place value on your health, relationships, & personal growth. Things are good, but you know they can be better. You've been in therapy before & come as far as you can "just talking about it." You’re ready to dig deeper & experience profound change. I work with clients to treat underlying causes of anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), low self esteem, trauma and PTSD, sexual dysfunction, & relationship concerns. I love facilitating this process with Intensive EMDR therapy, sex therapy, and Gottman Method. My clients are ready for change & don't want to spend years in therapy to get it.

There is a curious habit that I've noticed, especially when working with teens, that clients will mostly only work on the "issue of the week." This can have numerous benefits and can also delay the client's progress on any underlying concerns or patterns. Ideally, once a client has agreed to their treatment goals, they continue to take attainable steps towards that goal in therapy and in their daily life. When a client feels comfortable with their therapist to share their thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, then deeper work can happen.

I take a practical, compassionate approach focused on real-life change. Many women I work with have achieved sobriety but feel stuck, unfulfilled, or unsure what comes next. On the outside, life may look fine, yet internally there’s a sense of disconnection—from themselves, their relationships, or their purpose. They come seeking clarity and direction. I help them move forward by focusing on identity, relationships, and a clear, actionable path using CBT and Motivational Interviewing—so they can make confident decisions and build a meaningful, sustainable life.

I specialize in providing therapy to teens and young and middle-aged adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life adjustment concerns. Additionally, I specialize in helping overwhelmed parents develop strategies and skills to help their kids cope with mental health and performance challenges. These days, many people feel depressed and anxious because of negative thoughts about self, overwhelming circumstances, and challenging relational dynamics. These challenges make it difficult for people to experience life with joy and satisfaction and function to their full potential.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
