About

I am so glad you are taking the time to care for yourself by finding a therapist, be that me or someone else. You are so worth your time and effort.

I believe that everyone was made with the capacity for healing and growth, which often comes through relationships. I am passionate about the client/therapist relationship and believe having someone to be present while navigating current struggles or past trauma is powerful. I am intentional in using my education fused with my lived experience to provide a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to live the life they want to live. I counsel from an integrative model of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and narrative therapy, in addition to utilizing evidence-based techniques such as EMDR and CPT. My work has focused on trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, grief & loss, anxiety, and depression, with adult individuals, couples, and groups, including active duty military and veterans.

I am thankful to have become a therapist after many years of living life, as my past has made me the therapist I am today. I became an advanced certified paralegal as a young, single mom, working in private practice and federal agencies. In that role, I focused on issues such as probates, family law, and criminal law, all of which affect individuals’ mental health. I also became a certified personal trainer over a decade ago and have helped many people care for their physical bodies. As a Christian, my beliefs about my faith are a fundamental part of who I am, just as I believe my clients’ beliefs are fundamental to them. This allows me to be both a counselor who is a Christian and a Christian counselor. My past careers, experiences, and education help me to view my clients with a holistic lens of mind, body, and soul.

My goal is to help others not to merely endure life, but to grasp the vision and take hold of the life they were made for.
