You want healing from the past, and you may be struggling to see hope. You don’t believe that it’s possible to overcome the anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma that affects you every day. I want to tell you that there is hope, and healing is attainable! I enjoy working with clients to help them find healing. I’m especially passionate about pairing evidence-based therapy with a Christian perspective. I believe God has designed us to interact with him, and our faith can have a huge impact on our mental health.
I became a therapist to know and support people in their difficult moments and because God was calling me to be a better listener. I have experience working with clients dealing with high-stress situations, addictions, substance use, and interpersonal conflict.

Maybe you are grieving the loss of a loved one, bogged down by a traumatic experience, or you’re simply tired of being tired. Perhaps you feel your family is dysfunctional and you want to communicate more clearly. Or do you feel unhappiness and pain that has gone on too long? These feelings are temporary – your issues do not define you. I am passionate about working with people who are willing to make a change. Healing is not an easy or quick process, but it is so worth it. As your therapist, I will support you to as you work towards your goals.
I practice understanding and compassion towards clients. I was in the Peace Corps, I worked with families in Child Protective Services, I worked in Thailand on anti-trafficking, and I was a professor of sociology and social work.
Do you feel like your past is holding you back? Like there is something preventing you from moving forward. No matter what challenges you’re facing, you are strong enough to overcome them. I want to walk alongside you on your journey to healing. I have worked through my own trauma to find hope and healing. I am passionate about helping others overcome the trauma and challenges they face.
When we work together, we’ll build a safe, judgment-free space where you can express everything you’re feeling. Therapy is not a quick fix to life’s struggles. It’s hard but rewarding work. I’m not here to “fix” you. You are strong, worthy, and capable of hope. Together, we can find positivity and healing. If you wish to incorporate spirituality into your journey, I am more than comfortable walking alongside you with that. I have been involved in Christian ministry for over 25 years.

I received my Master’s degree in Counseling from Grace College and Theological Seminary. I have worked extensively in community mental health with adolescents, adults, and families covering a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, marital issues, family conflict, addictions, and anger management. I have experience in leading groups focused on substance abuse education and helping both the offenders and victims of domestic violence. My preferred method of therapy is Adlerian, which focuses on rapport, encouragement, building perspective and insight, discovering meaning and purpose, and eventually reorientation. I place an importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship with clients and hopes to help each individual find their true meaning and purpose in life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counseling-Associate under the supervision of Dr. Richard Bishop, LMFT-S, LPC-S. My belief and the way I conduct therapy revolves around this simple truth. The past has already happened, and I cannot change it. I can reflect on it and see things that are affecting my present allowing for change through awareness. The future has not happened yet, and I have limited control of what is to come. What I can control is the choices I make that can lead to the desired outcome. By focusing on the “here and now” we create awareness and have the ability to take control of our own life. I enjoy working together with clients as a team to achieve the goals they have for themselves. I provide a judgment-free space where clients can explore all aspects of themselves in order to gain awareness and become their most authentic self. I am not the expert on your life which means we work as partners to achieve the desired goal.
Relationships are integral to our existence as human beings. We are not islands. Life can be challenging, and events and other life circumstances can leave us feeling vulnerable and alone. A therapist can be a nonjudgmental and empathetic ear with which people can gain self-knowledge, self-confidence, and resilience. When you work with me, you will have a safe space to experience the emotions needed and to identify any deficits and strengths that can help shape your goals. Together, we can help you figure out how to participate and thrive in life despite the things that are holding you back.
I decided to become a mental health counselor after almost a decade as an occupational therapist. I recognized that many of the comorbid conditions accompanying physical dysfunction also had a psychosocial component.

Not living the life you wanted or expected? Perhaps you’re struggling with familial relationships, having trouble connecting to your child(ren), or feeling disconnected from a partner or spouse. Perhaps, past relationships or old trauma is negatively impacting your current day-to-day life. You work hard to do the right things, but you still feel stuck. Maybe your child is the one who seems stuck, and you don’t know how to help him/her process their emotions – especially when you’re wrestling with emotions of your own. You want someone to help you find a better way forward. I want you to feel understood. You’re the expert on yourself, your family, and your relationships. In our first session, we will look at your goals and identify next steps. Each following session, you will drive the conversation. We will tie your current concerns back to your original goals and find positive ways for you to move forward.
We often get stuck in our thoughts or behaviors that can make us feel hopeless, and you just want a space where you feel heard, validated, and understood. As your therapist, I can sit with you in your hurt without passing judgment and give you the space you need to talk and process through whatever may be troubling you. When you feel stuck, I can help you work through that, providing the education and tools needed so you can feel more encouraged and empowered to make the marginal daily changes that will greatly impact the rest of your life.
I have experience in behavioral health and working with individuals with eating disorders, autism, and trauma. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strength’s-based which focuses on a holistic view of your strengths and wellbeing.
