I take a warm, nonjudgmental approach to therapy where you can feel safe, seen, and accepted as you are. I bring a calm presence, gentle humor, and deep care for people into the room. My faith is important to me and shapes the way I love and honor others, while always respecting your beliefs and values. I am trained in trauma work and draw from CBT, person centered therapy, mindfulness, and I am actively learning EMDR to better support healing.

You may understand that your past affects you today, yet still find yourself repeating patterns you desperately want to change. Maybe anxiety, trauma, addiction, or difficult relationships have left you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. You might be working through recovery, navigating a major life transition, or trying to make sense of emotions you’ve struggled to put into words. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I’ll meet you where you are and help you find a path forward that feels right for you. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
