I am a licensed psychotherapist, chaplain, pastor, and educator dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life’s most difficult challenges. My work focuses on grief, trauma, life transitions, personal development, and the pursuit of meaning and purpose. Drawing from both evidence-based psychological practices and spiritually integrated approaches, I help clients make sense of their experiences, strengthen resilience, and move toward lives marked by healing, growth, and hope.

Get to know me

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

Clients can expect a compassionate, supportive, and collaborative environment where they are free to explore their thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and experiences without judgment. Together, we will identify strengths, clarify goals, process challenges, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Whether you are facing loss, uncertainty, relationship difficulties, spiritual questions, or personal struggles, our work will focus on helping you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a unique combination of clinical expertise, spiritual insight, and real-world experience to the therapeutic process. As a therapist, chaplain, pastor, and community leader, I understand the complex ways that mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual concerns intersect. My approach integrates evidence-based interventions with a deep appreciation for the role of meaning, purpose, identity, and faith in the healing process. Clients often appreciate my ability to balance empathy with practical guidance, helping them not only understand their challenges but also discover pathways toward growth, resilience, and lasting transformation.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve individuals, families, and communities navigating grief, trauma, life transitions, identity challenges, and questions of meaning and purpose. I specialize in helping adults in transition, mothers, fathers, young adults, Millennials, Generation Z, and faith-based communities build resilience, strengthen their sense of identity, and find hope in the midst of adversity. Drawing from my experience as a therapist, chaplain, pastor, and educator, I integrate mental health, spirituality, and human development to help people make sense of their experiences, access their strengths, and move toward lives marked by purpose, healing, and growth.

My treatment methods

Existential

My counseling approach is rooted in existential therapy, helping individuals explore questions of identity, meaning, purpose, and resilience in the face of suffering, loss, and life transitions. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, I help people understand how their experiences have shaped them, integrate those experiences into a coherent life story, and identify meaningful ways to move forward. Drawing from spirituality, theology, and psychology, I guide clients in discovering who they are, what gives their lives meaning, and how they can live purposefully despite adversity.

Faith based therapy

My primary approach is grounded in spiritually integrated psychotherapy, recognizing that spirituality, faith, meaning, and purpose are central dimensions of human well-being. I help individuals draw upon their spiritual beliefs, values, and resources to navigate grief, trauma, life transitions, and personal challenges. By integrating psychological principles with clients’ spiritual frameworks, I support them in finding meaning, strengthening resilience, and living in greater alignment with their values and sense of purpose.
