My philosophy of therapy is holistic, meaning I believe people are made up of many parts (mind, body, and spirit) that interact in many different environments. These parts are not independent of one another but work together. I am a Christian. I believe we are created for relationships. We know ourselves in the context of our relationships. Healing occurs through restoring relationships and refining our interactions within those relationships. My approach to therapy is from a systemic perspective. People work in relational systems and each person in the relationship is important to the balance of the whole system.
When relationships become out of balance, it's a result of different factors or patterns, which can be examined in the therapy. I place a strong emphasis on healthy communication, clear boundaries, and attachment experiences. I counsel families, couples, and individuals. My counseling is grounded in Attachment Theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and the Gospel.
Life doesn’t follow a script, but often we get stuck on the idea that it does or should. The work I do with clients explores the beliefs we hold about ourselves, our experiences and our relationships and how to move toward healing and wholeness. Focusing on resilience, it is possible to experience a fuller, deeper life as we give meaning and purpose to our life stories. Our wounds can become our strength.
In my practice, I work with individuals, couples and families experiencing difficult life transitions, depression, anxiety, relational conflict, communication issues, substance abuse, stress and trauma. I use a strength-based approach that is informed by family systems, somatic theories and a brain-based understanding of our capacity for healing.
It is a privilege for me to walk alongside my clients, share their struggles and help them rediscover hope and realize renewal. If you have questions about therapy or would like to set up an appointment, please call me. I would be honored to journey with you.

I believe we each have a calling and unique purpose in life, with specific strengths, gifts, and passions waiting to be pursued to unlock our full potential. Oftentimes, through brokenness and hurt, we can lose sight of our purpose and feel weighed down by the heaviness of life. I am passionate about helping others feel understood and find their way by offering compassion. My approach is rooted in the belief that healthy attachment and connection through relationships is our greatest resource. I have experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, communication issues, and life transitions, empowering them to emerge more resilient.
I see therapy as a collaborative journey. I work from a holistic perspective, utilizing my Christian faith to help clients experience freedom through grace, growth, and healing. I strive to create a safe, caring environment where you feel encouraged as we work together to explore your unique experiences using your strengths to find meaningful solutions.
