I see psychotherapy as an opportunity to explore the stories of our lives with the hope of finding healing in our ability to connect more deeply with ourselves and one another other, gain insight, flexibility, compassion, and freedom. I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to heal from trauma, past or ongoing traumatic stress, sexual and gender-based violence, spiritual abuse, and grief.

My faith in Christ is the foundation of my life and guides the way I approach healing and restoration. I believe therapy is a sacred space where compassion, grace, and truth come together. I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your story, especially when facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship struggles. As a trauma-informed therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families, thoughtfully integrating faith and evidence-based care for those who desire it.

“In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” My ideal client is tired of “playing it safe” and is open to the newness that change brings. My ideal client is not only searching for a way out of their situation, but they are ready to gain the tools needed to improve their quality of life. Therapy is not about being told what to do, it’s finding a great fit with a skilled clinician who will join you in your journey to wellness. Rather than trying to fix things on your own, why not collaborate with someone who celebrates your individuality and incorporates it in your healing process?

I am a family therapist who works with individuals, couples and families. I focus my practice on helping individuals improve their important relationships - with their children, with their spouses or with a significant other and with their parents. Helping clients with work relationships is also a significant part of my practice. I've facilitated sessions with several generations of married couples within one family. Important relationships influence a person's emotional and physical states, resulting in some cases in extreme distress. When people reduce their sensitivity to others, they can make dramatic improvements in directing their own emotional and physical wellbeing.

I help people to develop a sense of control and safety in exploring their thoughts, memories and feelings; who are having a hard time and want to make a change; and who find it difficult to control anger, sadness, anxiety, mood swings, stress, to trust others or have close relationships. I believe that honest, compassionate discussion lets you approach what you might want to ignore but won’t go away; or explore what might not have space to be said with friends or family. Putting the right words to what you feel can open new possibilities.
