My approach brings 35 years of life and professional experience (and two corgis) to the therapy relationship. I am interested in working with people who seek guidance in finding personal meaning and the best quality of life possible. I operate from a solutions-focused, strengths-based perspective that sees my client as a unique person with the capacity for change rather than some "ism" or "ideology". I prefer not to dwell with people who are "stuck in a victim mentality" and see themselves as powerless. No conversations are too difficult nor off limits. My perspective is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and existentialism.

I often think of those I work with as fellow travelers—a term borrowed from Dr. Irvin Yalom that reflects my belief in shared humanity. It dissolves the divide between “them” (the afflicted) and “us” (the healers), reminding us that no one is immune to life’s inherent challenges. In my practice, I strive to create a space where meaningful self-discovery and personal growth can unfold. My individualized approach allows me to honor each person’s unique story, and my own lived experiences deeply inform my commitment to this work. It’s a privilege to do this work, and I do it with intention, mindfulness, and authenticity.

Together, we explore the patterns that keep you stuck and build the clarity and confidence needed to create more authentic, fulfilling connections.

Our ideal clients seek Christian counseling to overcome challenges like depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues. They value a faith-based approach that integrates Biblical truth with psychology, aiming for transformation in parenting, grief, or personal identity through God’s healing grace.

Being a student is hard and being a student athlete can be even more difficult as you have so many responsibilities that pull you in various directions. The stress you feel, you do not have to carry. My goal is to assist individuals in overcoming challenges and to reach their full potential. I will help you release the heaviness you are carrying. I believe progress toward individual goals cannot be met by a singular focus on the negative aspects of life, and we cannot build on holes. To reach our full potential, we need build on strengths, release anxiety, and transform our challenging experiences into future motivation and growth.
