LCSW, 9 years of experience
New to Grow
Welcome! As a therapist, I blend clinical excellence with soulful authenticity. I don’t just teach skills, I invite clients to experience themselves differently by creating a safe but no-nonsense space where people can be real about their struggles, laugh when needed, and still dig deep into the roots of their pain. Insightful, relational, and spiritually grounded, clients experience a compassionate guide who will hold space for their wounds and challenge them when they’re stuck in unhealthy cycles.
In our first session, you can expect a space that feels warm and real. My goal is to create an environment where you feel both seen and safe, so you can take a deep breath and know you don’t have to carry everything alone. While we’ll get into meaningful work, I also believe therapy can hold both depth and lightness so you may find yourself laughing in one moment and reflecting deeply in the next. By the end of that first session, my hope is that you’ll walk away with a sense of clarity and direction, knowing that I’m here to truly partner with you in building a roadmap toward healing and growth.
What makes my approach unique is the way I bring together both the clinical and the spiritual. For clients who want it, I offer a thoughtful integration of psychology and Christian counseling, so you don’t have to choose between caring for your mental health and nurturing your faith. I also bring warmth, humor, and a little bit of realness into the room because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Together, we’ll look at the deeper patterns shaping your life to help you move out of shame and into a place of self-compassion, alignment, and freedom.
You may have spent years trying to “fix yourself” through people-pleasing, achievement, or avoidance, only to realize those patterns haven’t brought the peace you were searching for. Deep down, you know there’s more to life than survival, but feel disconnected from your sense of worth, identity, or faith. If this sounds like you, you’re probably tired of surface-level solutions and ready to do the deeper work of healing. Together, we’ll work to uncover the “why” behind your struggles, break old cycles, and create space for more peace, joy, and freedom in your life.
ACT is used to help clients move from survival to intentional living. Instead of fighting their inner world, they learn to carry it with compassion and keep stepping toward what matters most.
Christian counseling in my practice is about helping clients see their worth as God sees them, release patterns of fear or striving, and step into a life of healing and freedom that is both mentally and spiritually grounded.
CBT helps clients recognize, challenge, and replace unwanted/unhelpful thoughts/behaviors that lead to low self-esteem, people pleasing, relationship conflicts, and more.
EFT allows clients move from cycles of disconnection and fear into relationships rooted in safety, vulnerability, and love whether with others or within their own internal world
IFS especially powerful with clients who feel stuck in shame or inner conflict. Instead of fighting against themselves, they learn to approach their inner world with curiosity and compassion, leading to healing and greater emotional freedom.
