Specializing in Christian counseling, I'm passionate about fostering growth and resilience in individuals and families navigating significant life changes. I offer various evidence-based techniques to cater to your preferences and needs. Counseling should be a safe space where you don’t have to perform, hide, or stay stuck in your current circumstances. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Optum, United, UMR, UHC, Carelon, and private pay. Please schedule by reaching out through my website to confirm insurance eligibility, scheduling availability, and therapeutic fit.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, you can expect to be welcomed into a safe, non-judgmental space where we’ll take time to understand your unique challenges and goals. We’ll discuss your history, the concerns you're currently facing, and how you’d like to see things improve. Together, we’ll create a roadmap for your therapy, focusing on practical steps you can take to work through difficulties and begin healing. I’ll provide clarity on how we can integrate different techniques into our work to build healthier thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to leave feeling understood and with a clear sense of direction on your healing plan.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to truly see you, not just your struggles or diagnosis, but your resilience, your story, and the person you are beyond any past wounds or past mistakes. I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, prove yourself, or fear judgment and to meet you exactly where you are with compassion and practical tools for healing. I also bring a unique balance of insight and strategy. I will help you not only understand their patterns but take real steps toward change. With a blend of evidence-based techniques, creative approaches like music therapy, and deep empathy, I walk alongside you as we break through barriers and build the life you deserve.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Do you feel stuck? Held back by past hurt, self-doubt, or overwhelming emotions or fears? Longing to know your identity and experience peace? You want to feel secure in relationships, confident in yourself, and connected to your faith. Your goals aren’t just about fixing problems; they’re about becoming who you were created to be. You want practical tools, deep transformation, and a space where your story is seen, heard, and honored. If you are seeking any of these & want a therapist who can integrate a Christian perspective into your healing journey, I am here to help.

My treatment methods

Faith based therapy

You weren’t created to carry your burdens alone. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Christian counseling isn’t just about coping, it’s about healing at the deepest level, where your faith and struggles meet. Whether you’re battling anxiety that keeps you up at night, depression that weighs you down, or the scars of past trauma, healing is possible. Maybe religious or generational trauma have left you hypervigilant, or religious OCD makes you question if you're “good enough” for God. Perhaps growing up with a narcissistic caregiver taught you love was conditional. But God’s love isn’t. In our sessions, we can use both biblical truth and evidence-based therapy to challenge the lies, silence shame, and rebuild your identity in Christ. You don’t have to stay stuck. Let’s take that first step together.

Eclectic

Eclectic therapy allows me to draw from a diverse range of therapeutic techniques and approaches to best support my clients' individual journeys towards healing and growth. I blend elements of different evidence-based practices, depending on what suits your needs best. This approach enables me to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and provide a comprehensive and holistic therapeutic experience that fosters deep healing and lasting transformation.

Attachment-based

Healing starts with connection. Many of our struggles, whether it’s shame, guilt, anxiety, avoidant behaviors, or the wounds left by a narcissistic caregiver, are rooted in early attachment patterns. I aim to help you recognize how these patterns shape your relationships, self-worth, and emotional responses. By creating a secure, judgment-free therapeutic space, I will guide you in understanding and healing attachment wounds, developing healthier relationship dynamics, and learning to trust yourself and others again.

Play Therapy

I incorporate play therapy and music into my work with children (ages 10+), teens, and adults who benefit from creative expression in therapy. Play therapy allows clients to explore emotions, process trauma, improve focus, and build coping skills in a way that feels natural and engaging. Depending on you, this may involve art, storytelling, role-play, music, or interactive games. I also use music as a therapeutic tool, to help you or your child express emotions, reduce anxiety, and foster healing. By integrating these creative approaches, I create a safe and supportive space where you can process their experiences in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful.
