You don't have to be good at talking about feelings to start therapy.

I work with adults who may feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what needs to change-but know they don't want to keep going the way they have been. I especially enjoy working with men navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, major life changes, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together.

I have 10 years of experience working in mental health. My style is warm, holistic and collaborative with plenty of humor along the way. Therapy with me is a place to be honest about what isn't working, understand yourself better, and start making changes that actually fit your life.

Hello! I believe that healing is possible for everyone, no matter how difficult life may feel right now. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to work through life's challenges.


I take a compassionate and professional approach to therapy, combining evidence-based clinical practices with Christian principles when desired by the client. I view counseling as a collaborative process and am committed to helping individuals, couples, families, ministry leaders, and professionals develop the tools and insights needed to create meaningful, lasting change.


Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or a major life transition, I will meet you where you are and walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and restoration. My focus is not only on helping you overcome current challenges but also on equipping you with the skills and confidence needed to thrive moving forward.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.
