I believe that our life experiences, relationships, and environments profoundly shape who we are and how we respond to the world around us. The patterns we develop often begin as ways of coping, protecting ourselves, or finding connection. Although those patterns may eventually leave us feeling stuck, they do not have to define our future.
Before becoming a therapist, I served in youth ministry, where I developed a passion for supporting teenagers and their families through difficult seasons. Today, I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting challenges, and struggles related to pornography.
My approach is warm, practical, and grounded in an understanding of how past experiences, family relationships, and generational patterns influence our present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I use humor when appropriate and seek to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing. Together, we work to understand how problems developed, identify the patterns keeping them in place, and develop healthier ways of responding.
My Christian faith is central to who I am and how I view people. I believe every person has inherent value, that grace creates room for change, and that healing involves caring for both our emotional and spiritual lives. For clients who desire it, I welcome the opportunity to integrate Christian faith and biblical principles into the counseling process.
I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and am trained in EMDR. Whether you are working through trauma, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, or trying to break a pattern that has taken control of your life, my goal is to help you better understand your story and move forward with greater freedom, connection, and hope.
