I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

You may be carrying a lot beneath the surface while still doing your best to show up for work, relationships, family, and everyday responsibilities. Anxiety can leave your mind constantly running, depression may make it harder to feel like yourself, and ADHD or chronic health concerns can add another layer of exhaustion when you are already stretched thin. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ concerns, cultural and ethnic issues, and physical health concerns. These experiences can also overlap with women’s issues, family concerns, trauma, PTSD, chronic conditions, grief or loss, or relationship challenges, especially when your health, identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing are all influencing one another. Therapy can give you a place where the different parts of your experience are understood together. Together, we can make sense of what has been weighing on you, strengthen healthier ways of coping, and help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself.

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones nobody sees. You may be struggling to hold your marriage together, carrying the weight of family expectations, grieving someone you love, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, or painful experiences from your past. With over ten years of experience supporting couples and families through ministry, I understand how deeply our relationships, upbringing, cultural values, and personal struggles shape who we become. My passion is helping individuals, especially men who feel pressured to always be strong, and couples and families break unhealthy patterns, rebuild trust, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives.
