High-functioning but something isn’t adding up? You’ve likely tried to use reason, control, manage through, or push forward, but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or off track.
My approach is insight-driven and focused on helping you identify patterns, understand underlying dynamics, and make sense of experiences that continue to affect you. I listen closely, track themes, and guide the conversation to explore what matters most. I integrate psychoeducation and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. This is a focused space for reflection, processing, and meaningful change, best suited for those open to honest exploration and the work.

You can have a better second half of your life. As an integrative, neuro-narrative trauma specialist, I help individuals & couples reclaim the fractured pieces of their stories: from childhood abuse & church sexual abuse, to TBI (traumatic brain injury), while tending to the places where those pieces create heartache in relationships.
The past doesn't have to be the blueprint for your future; reclaiming, or perhaps creating for the very first time, a life of flourishing is possible.

Welcome! I am happy you are here! Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. My goal is to make therapy feel approachable, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I work with adolescents and adults 15 and older navigating depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, addiction, social stigma, immigration stress, and life transitions. Sessions with me are reflective and we move at a pace that feels comfortable while still supporting meaningful growth.

There is no pain on earth that doesn't crave a benevolent witness." (Sue Monk Kidd). Often the search for therapy begins when there is no benevolent witness to our pain. Depression, grief, abuse, and trauma are very difficult loads to carry alone. I work collaboratively with my clients to foster a relationship where these stories can be shared and explored. Through the therapeutic relationship we co-create new ways of being, seeing, and experiencing self and others.

I offer both traditional and Christian-based counseling, and would be honored to be a part of your journey.
Along with weekday counseling, I'm available for Saturday morning appointments once a month. Sometimes hourly therapy doesn't leave adequate time for clients to feel the freedom to address deeper concerns, so I also offer longer sessions to allow for a less stressful environment.

Christian Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognize an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
