COUNSELING
Therapy that meets you where you are.
I believe healing begins with connection. When people feel safe, seen, understood, and genuinely cared for, it creates room for healing to take place. My approach is centered on building that kind of relationship—meeting you where you are, understanding who you are, and adapting therapy to your unique needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all approach.
​
Grounded in clinical expertise and faith-based values, I strive to create an environment of trust, compassion, honesty, and grace where teens, young adults, and adults can process trauma, find their voice, and move toward healing with greater confidence, resilience, hope, and purpose.
Who I Work With
Teens & Adolescents
Support through stress, identity, relationships, family changes, anxiety, and difficult experiences.
Young Adults
Navigate transitions, relationships, purpose, anxiety, and the pressure of figuring out what comes next.
Trauma & PTSD
Process difficult past experiences in a safe, trauma-informed way at a pace that feels manageable.
Anxiety & Stress
Understand what’s driving the overwhelm and build healthier ways of responding to it.
BRAINSPOTTING
"Where you look affects how you feel"
Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy approach that can help process unresolved trauma, anxiety, emotional pain, and experiences that may be difficult to fully access through talk therapy alone. Based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel,” Brainspotting uses focused eye positions, mindfulness, and attunement to support deeper emotional processing.
​
Trauma can continue to affect the nervous system even when you understand what happened logically, showing up as anxiety, overwhelm, relationship struggles, chronic stress, panic, or feeling stuck. Brainspotting helps create space to process these experiences in a safe, supportive way.
​
During sessions, clients are guided to notice emotions, body sensations, and internal experiences while focusing on a specific brainspot. My goal is to provide a calm, grounded, and compassionate space where you can move toward greater clarity, resilience, and peace.
CHRISTIAN COUNSELING
Faith can be part of your healing.
For many people, faith is deeply connected to how they understand their struggles, relationships, identity, and hope for the future. I offer a space where your Christian faith can be thoughtfully integrated into therapy without judgment or pressure.
When desired, counseling may incorporate Scripture, prayer, biblical principles, and conversations about faith alongside evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I meet each client where they are spiritually and emotionally, adapting the process to their beliefs, comfort level, and goals.
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3 (KJV)
You don’t have to separate your faith from your mental health.

I want the financial side of counseling to feel as clear and straightforward as possible. I accept several major insurance plans and also offer private-pay sessions.
