I want therapy to feel like a space where you’re truly heard, understood, and not judged. Together, we’ll create a supportive, honest relationship where you can show up as your real self and work toward the changes that matter most to you. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, grief, stress, personality disorders, substance use, and co‐occurring concerns, and I draw on my crisis work background to support you through really tough moments. I also love helping you understand how your brain, emotions, and behaviors work so you can make changes that last beyond our sessions.

Hello, I'm glad you're here! Are you exhausted from living in a constant state of 'what if' and anxiety? Do you struggle making the 'right' decision, or do you think through every possible thing that can go wrong? As a board-certified psychotherapist and former Clinical Director, I have spent the last 20 years treating fear, trauma, relationship struggles and depression. My true passion, however, is helping individuals overcome worry and fear, and learn to handle the discomfort of the unknown.

Coach.I have been involved in Christian ministry and I'm a good choice for some one who would like a therapist who has a Christian worldd view but does clinical therapy.
