Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or a loss of sense of self? Do you feel exhausted just trying to get through the day, yet hope that life could feel more manageable? You don’t have to do this alone. Seeking support takes courage. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change together. My approach is empathetic, trauma-informed, and client-centered. Understanding that traditional talk therapy is not for everyone, I utilize a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
I work with adults and teens, as well as premarital and newly married couples using Prepare/Enrich. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. Having lived overseas myself, I have a particular passion for supporting expats, missionaries, and veterans. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy effective for healing trauma and emotional distress.
I would be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey and look forward to supporting you as you take this next step.
