About me
I am a mental health counselor dedicated to helping the helpers (first responders, pastors/ ministry leaders, people pleasers), the traumatized, those coping with depression, anxiety, or just confusion about where to go next. I specialize in burnout recovery and prevention, trauma recovery, and integrating faith and mental health.
A life devoted to caring for others can be extremely rewarding, but can often lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, or even addiction. Caring for others can expose you to trauma, either by direct experience or by hearing stories you wish you could forget. As a counselor, my passion is to work with first responders, pastors, and ministry leaders as they navigate these struggles and work to faithfully live out their calling in a complicated world.
Together we will work to find freedom from addiction, recovery from burnout, and healing from trauma to help you recover your passion and move forward in confidence. We will work on processing your past, constructing (and keeping!) healthy boundaries, and learning to prioritize in a way that reflects your values and the purpose to which you are called.
