About me
I am a Christian counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief while building a greater sense of peace, purpose, and presence.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and I’m here to help make that first step a little easier. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to heal. If you're facing anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, we'll work together—at your pace—toward meaningful goals and lasting change. My hope is to support you in rediscovering peace, purpose, and presence in your life. I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief by creating space for healing and growth. My approach is always tailored to each person’s unique needs, but I often draw from CBT, DBT, grief counseling, and narrative therapy to support clients in processing difficult experiences and regaining a sense of control and resilience. I have experience in betrayal trauma and I also specialize in using DBT to help individuals build practical tools for managing emotions, strengthening relationships, and creating a more balanced, mindful life.
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, or lonely at times — and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from peace, purpose, or yourself, therapy can be a space to feel seen and supported. If you're feeling curious or hopeful about taking the next step, I invite you to reach out.
