I'm glad you are interested in my profile. Let me introduce myself. I'm a Licensed Counselor, Christian, and US Army Veteran with years of experience working in community mental health, addiction recovery, and PTSD treatment — both with service members and Veterans through the VA, and with civilians carrying similar weight.

I work primarily with adults — especially men, women, couples, and Veterans navigating PTSD, addiction, marriage challenges, life transitions, and the kind of stress that builds up over years of trying to handle everything alone.

I'm also a Christian counselor, and my faith guides every aspect of my life. The majority of my clients over the years are not Christian, and I have worked well with them, and their needs. I am sensitive to the needs of my clients.

My job is to meet you where you are. You'll find me direct, but warm, solution-focused, humorous. I speak plainly, and not in clinical jargon, if I can help it. .

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside, while inside you're carrying far more than anyone realizes. You may be juggling work, relationships, parenting, or constant responsibilities while wondering why everything feels harder than it should. You don't have to keep carrying it all on your own.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent many years in education helping people recognize strengths they often couldn't see in themselves. That experience continues to shape the way I approach therapy today. I believe people are incredibly resilient. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling to focus because of ADHD, navigating a difficult relationship, processing trauma, or adjusting to a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more like yourself again.

I have a depth of experience as a clinical school social worker for over 18 years. Prior to school social work and private practice, I worked in residential treatment, inpatient treatment and juvenile probation. The majority of my 20+ year career has been working with pre-teens, adolescents and their families. I love working with parents as they navigate raising kids!

Most recently, I have been working more with college aged busy moms and professionals. I also love working with high performing athelets.

For the past 16 years I have also supervised Masters level, clinical social work students. I also provide supervision for those working towards their LCSW.

My husband and I are busy raising our three young children. Being a parent is the greatest joy and there is no other role I rather be in.

I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!

You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped checking in with yourself. Or maybe life changed unexpectedly, and you're trying to figure out who you are now.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, families, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, major life transitions, and the stress that comes from simply trying to keep up. My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet the constant mental noise, and feel more confident in the choices you make.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I'm easy to talk to, calm, honest, and genuine. Therapy with me is a place where you don't have to have it all figured out. You can show up exactly as you are, and we'll take it one step at a time.

Great to meet you

If you’re struggling with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, or relationship stress, you’re not alone. Many people face these challenges, and support is available to help you feel understood and less isolated.

I work with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of my clients deal with high anxiety, racing thoughts, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Still, therapy can help you find hope and a way forward, even if it looks like you have everything together on the outside.

If you’re constantly overanalyzing, feeling on edge, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can help you slow things down and regain control, empowering you to manage your thoughts and feelings more effectively.
