I help individuals and couples overcome trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional struggles through a compassionate, faith-integrated approach. With over 25 years of ministry experience and specialized training in EMDR, I offer holistic care that addresses mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're healing from past wounds, navigating conflict, or seeking deeper connection, I provide a safe, supportive space to grow. Change is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
In my work with couples, I use faith-centered principles and the Gottman Method to foster open communication, mutual respect, and emotional connection. Together, we address conflict, rebuild trust, and strengthen intimacy—creating a path for healing, renewal, and a more deeply connected relationship.
I start by listening to your concerns with care and compassion. Together, we’ll create a plan to reach your goals and restore peace of mind. Using evidence-based, faith-integrated, and holistic care, I help you move forward with hope. Book a free consultation online—we’ll take the first step together.

I currently do not accept insurance as I am a private pay counselor. I am considered out-of-network by insurance companies, however, I can provide a Super-bill (like a receipt for services) for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
