About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over four years of experience helping adults overcome life's challenges and discover hope, healing, and lasting change. I work with adults ages 18–64 experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and other emotional difficulties. As a Christian, I also enjoy supporting individuals whose faith is an important part of their lives. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian values and biblical principles into the therapeutic process. I have a special passion for working with Christians and Preacher's Kids (PKs), recognizing the unique pressures, expectations, and emotional challenges that can come with ministry families. Whether you're wrestling with burnout, identity, church hurt, family dynamics, or balancing faith with everyday life, therapy can provide a safe place to process your experiences without judgment.

Get to know me

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

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. During our first session, my priority is creating a welcoming, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can openly share your story at your own pace. We'll spend time getting to know one another, discussing what has brought you to therapy, identifying your current concerns, and exploring the goals you hope to achieve. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your unique strengths, values, and needs. Therapy is a collaborative journey. My role is to support, encourage, and equip you with practical tools while helping you build confidence and lasting emotional wellness.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds while meeting them with compassion, authenticity, and respect. I understand that no two people experience life the same way, so I tailor each session to fit your unique experiences, goals, and personality. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. Clients often appreciate my calm, encouraging approach and my ability to combine practical, evidence-based strategies with genuine care. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, life transitions, or faith-related concerns, I am committed to helping you feel understood and supported throughout the healing process.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults who are ready to move beyond simply surviving and begin thriving. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, Christians, ministry leaders, and Preacher's Kids (PKs) who feel overwhelmed by life's demands, struggle with depression or anxiety, or are navigating significant life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, emotional burnout, grief, and difficulties balancing personal, family, career, and spiritual responsibilities. Whether you're seeking practical coping skills, emotional healing, or a safe place to process life's challenges, I am committed to helping you build resilience and achieve meaningful, lasting growth.

I've used CBT to help individuals learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I've used DBT to help clients regulate emotions, build interpersonal skills, tolerate distress, and develop a stronger sense of self.
