I would love to journey with you towards peace and wholeness. As a certified pre-marital counselor, I work with couples and individuals moving towards marriage. I am well versed in collaborating with clients in the most challenging times in their lives and assisting them find meaning and comfort when life stops making sense. By utilizing various methods and techniques, including CBT, cognitive restructuring, grief, and bereavement, DBT, and Christian Counseling I journey with individuals suffering from childhood and adult trauma, substance abuse, and marital problems.

I work with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or unsure - whether that’s related to anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, life transitions, or learning to trust themselves and the world around them. As a relational, client-centered therapist, my approach is collaborative, with time and trust as cornerstones for creating a space where you feel safe enough to be curious about yourself, express the different parts of who you are without judgment, feel empowered in navigating your experiences, and become more grounded in your ability to move through life’s seasons.
In sessions, I draw from IFS, somatic, and trauma-informed perspectives, incorporating elements of DBT and CBT when helpful. Together, though, we’ll develop a plan that feels realistic and aligned with your needs, values, and goals. The therapy process is deeply human, and not always perfect, but always patient.
