"I am passionate about people becoming free from the issues holding them back."

I am a full-time private practice and school therapist with a background as a minister serving communities around the world for over a decade. My goal is to create a stable, supportive environment where clients can feel safe to share their stories and begin their journey toward healing. I am deeply passionate about helping people break free from the challenges—mental, physical, and spiritual—that are holding them back.

Areas of Focus

I focus on addressing a wide range of issues, including:

  • Healing from sexual abuse and rape
  • Suicide ideation and depression
  • Anxiety and relationship challenges
  • Bullying and conflict resolution
  • Trauma and church hurt
  • College preparation and missionary debriefing

My experience allows me to provide tailored support for individuals, helping them navigate their unique challenges and find lasting solutions.

My Methods

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I can help you identify and change negative thought patterns to improve your emotional well-being and overall mindset.

Solution-Focused Therapy: I work with you to find practical solutions and create actionable steps to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): I help you strengthen emotional connections and develop healthier relationships through greater emotional awareness.

Why I Do This Work

I consider it an honor and privilege to walk alongside my clients in their healing journeys. Sitting with each person and cheering them on as they take steps toward freedom and wholeness is the greatest privilege of my life. Let’s work together to help you move forward.
