About me

"Many of our mental health challenges stem from the survival strategies we developed in childhood to cope with pain, trauma, or unmet needs. These patterns of thinking and behaving, were once essential, but now in your adulthood, they may have created barriers to healthy peer and professional relationships. I believe that creating space to explore your story with compassion is not only healing, but transformative. Together, we can gently unpack the past and begin to rewrite your future.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a chance for us to begin getting to know each other. We’ll gently walk through an intake assessment to better understand your history, needs, and goals. I know this process can feel vulnerable or even uncomfortable at times, which is why I approach it with compassion, curiosity, and zero judgment. I also recognize that therapy is a two-way relationship—you’re assessing me just as much as I’m learning about you. I encourage new clients to give it at least three sessions before deciding if we’re the right fit. Healing takes time, and so does building trust.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My work isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling rooted in empathy, insight, and lived experience. My ability to identify survival strategies as a once necessary function, creates a safe environment for healing. My goal is to create an atmosphere of safety and tenderness, whereby feelings of shame begin to dissolve and self-discovery can safely begin.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

It takes courage, support, and safety to look inward and gently unlearn coping strategies that no longer serve us. These behaviors—like people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, chronic overachievement, or isolation—often began as brilliant ways we adapted to pain, trauma, or unmet needs in childhood. Choosing healing opens the door to more fulfilling relationships, a kinder inner voice, and a life that feels aligned with who you truly are. If you're ready to explore that path, I would be honored to walk it with you.

My treatment methods

Schema Therapy

This form of therapy helps individuals understand and identify deep self-defeating beliefs formed in childhood that negatively affect the way one functions in their current relationships. As your therapist, I will create an atmosphere of safety and tenderness so that you can begin tearing down those generational patterns of guilt, shame and self hatred. You will then learn to rewrite your story filled with love, acceptance and patience for oneself.

Grief Therapy

This form of therapy is designed to help individuals process and cope wtih emotional and physical effects of loss. As your therapist, you will be supported with understanding the grieving process, exploring painful emotions, developing healthy coping strategies and learning ways to create a new normal after loss with a biblical lens in mind.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

This form of therapy is designed for individuals seeking a short term, goal oriented approach without taking a deep dive into your past history. As your therapist, you will be supported in setting small goals to accomplish identified tasks, by discovering the tools of strength you already possess.

EMDR

As a therapist deeply committed to trauma-informed care, I specialize in helping clients unpack the coping mechanisms they developed in childhood and transform them into sources of resilience. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) allows me to help clients access and reframe painful experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
