Welcome, I'm Glad You're Here

Maybe you’ve been trying your best to move forward, but you keep finding yourself in the same painful patterns. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences. Perhaps you understand your struggles logically, yet your mind and body still seem stuck. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to walk this journey by yourself.

About Me

Passion & Approach

Helping others heal is at the heart of why I became a counselor. My own healing journey showed me the life-changing power of being seen, understood, and supported through difficult seasons. Having experienced the transformative impact of therapy firsthand, I am passionate about helping others discover hope, healing, and lasting freedom. I believe meaningful change happens when people are given a safe, compassionate space to explore their story, process their experiences, and reconnect with their strengths.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other emotional challenges that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized because every person’s story is unique. Together, we’ll work to understand not only what’s happening in your life, but also the deeper patterns that may be keeping you from experiencing the peace, freedom, and growth you desire.

What To Expect

My goal is for you to leave each session feeling seen, understood, and equipped with practical tools while also experiencing deeper healing that reaches beyond simply managing symptoms. I believe lasting change happens when we address both what's happening on the surface and what's happening beneath it.

Brainspotting

One of the primary approaches I use is Brainspotting, a powerful brain-body therapy that helps identify and process experiences stored beneath conscious awareness. By accessing the brain’s natural ability to heal, Brainspotting can be especially effective for trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, performance challenges, and patterns that traditional talk therapy alone may not fully resolve.

Integrating Faith

For clients who desire it, I also welcome the integration of faith into the counseling process. As a Christian counselor, I believe emotional and spiritual healing can work hand in hand. Whether faith has always been central to your life or you're simply curious about exploring it, I strive to create a space where every part of your story can be met with compassion, respect, and grace.

Schedule 30-Minutes

Complimentary Consultation 

I offer in-person and secure virtual counseling sessions. Schedule a 30-minute complimentary consultation to discover whether counseling is right for you or to ask questions about my approach. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where we can discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether we’re a good fit.
