Email for a quick reply. "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated." - Maya Angelou. We all experience difficulties. When life gets complicated, when we are overwhelmed and just need some guidance to navigate our day, when we need to feel more in control, to feel comfortable and safe, counseling is helpful. Every one of us could use someone to listen, an opportunity to speak freely and be supported.

Have you ever said “No worries!” while deeply worrying? … same. ;)
Anxiety has a way of convincing us that we’re too much, not enough, or somehow both at once. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or replaying old relational patterns, you're not alone—and you’re not broken. I work with women navigating anxiety, trauma, and attachment wounds. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a touch of humor to make the process feel more relatable and human. Together, we’ll explore your story—especially the parts that may have been ignored, misunderstood, or minimized.

If you're navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma. You're confused & exhausted. I'm here to help you find clarity & peace.
I don’t see you as a problem. I see our "problems" as a part of us that have been trying, often for a long time, to protect you. When we don't feel like "ourselves," it's because we aren't living from a grounded state. This grounded state is your authentic self.

Each of us experiences times in our life when pain, stress, confusion, or despair overwhelms and consumes us, or when we find ourselves stuck in patterns that we can’t seem to escape, desiring change but unsure of where to begin. It takes courage to admit our need for help, and even more so, to ask for that help. And yet, this is often where healing begins – when we allow another person to come alongside us, help us to see what we can’t see, and offer a sense of hope when hope is hard to find.

I am currently NOT accepting NEW clients and will reassess in January—

I work with first responders who regularly face situations most people never will. Years spent responding alongside law enforcement, fire, EMS, and supporting military families have given me a deep understanding of the weight this work can carry. While most people experience only a few critical incidents in their lifetime, first responders may face several in a single day. Over time, that can change how you see the world, strain relationships, and create silent burdens that are hard to share.

I often work with individuals who appear capable on the outside but feels overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected on the inside.

My work is uniquely grounded in meeting clients where they are—helping them gain clarity, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with themselves in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.

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.
