Accepting New Clients- My ideal client feels stuck in patterns of depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, or painful relationship dynamics. Many carry deep shame or the belief that something is wrong with them. They want relief from anxiety, freedom from obsessive thoughts, and healing from past experiences that still affect their lives. They are looking for a safe place to understand these patterns, build healthier relationships, and rediscover their sense of worth. For some, integrating their Christian faith is also an important part of the healing process..
I help clients heal from trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, and relationship struggles using EMDR, ERP, and other trauma-informed attachment-based therapy. I provide a safe, compassionate space to process painful experiences, reduce distressing thoughts, break unhealthy patterns, and, when desired, integrate Christian faith into healing.
I help clients feeling stuck in depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, trauma, or painful relationship patterns find relief and healing. Together, we process past pain, build healthier patterns, and restore a sense of worth—supporting growth in both emotional and, if desired, spiritual life.

I often use EMDR and ERP in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the best approach for your goals. With EMDR, we'll gently process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming. With ERP, we'll safely face fears and intrusive thoughts, helping you build confidence and reduce anxiety over time.
