I also offer Christian counseling for those seeking to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process.

Finding the right therapist matters. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My style is conversational, collaborative, and direct, balancing warmth with honesty and practical feedback. I work especially well with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, and moral injury arising from high-responsibility environments, including veterans, first responders, and medical professionals. Many appear highly functional outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, disrupted sleep, or feeling disconnected from themselves, others, or the lives they once recognized.

Something happened, and even if life has moved on around you, part of you is still carrying it. I work with people navigating trauma, loss, anxiety, and the kind of identity questions that don't have easy answers — the ones that come up when you're trying to figure out who you are after something has shifted. My practice is built for people who are ready to stop managing and start actually healing.
