We were created for belonging, and each one of us has an innate desire to connect and feel seen. My experience as a therapist allows me to connect with a variety of people from all walks of life, including children, teenagers, athletes, couples, and families. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other concerns, I would be honored to walk alongside you to help you find healing, peace, and strength in God. John 8:32 says “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It is my firm belief that God will always fulfill His promises.
Our path is often marred by the many distractions that keep us from finding our true identity and God’s purpose for our lives. My passion is to facilitate clarity and provide support by helping you find meaning in the midst of your suffering and increasing the awareness and potential for choice. Our past does not define us; it is what we do with our circumstances that molds our character. We always have a choice in how we respond to life. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E. Frankl
With a gentle, patient spirit, I will listen with care and compassion to really understand your story and help you process through the difficult and traumatic events in your life. As a Christian therapist, I really do care about my clients and want you to know that you are safe to share whatever is on your heart and mind without fear of judgment. While therapy does require work on the part of both client and therapist, through dedication, faith-based therapy is a fantastic way to transform into your best self and improve your relationships, with God’s help.
People are my calling. My job is to help people like you heal their lives, relationships, and families. With over two decades of experience helping tens of thousands of individuals, couples, and families, I offer empathy, a listening ear, and a healthy dose of wisdom. I am straightforward and often use humor in my practice. I believe it’s so important to be relaxed in this work. I work quickly and don’t waste time getting down to the business of healing people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, relationships, and cultures.
Therapy offers a unique opportunity for you to engage with your story, to explore with curiosity and kindness, to be seen and heard, and to heal and grow. I approach our work together by inviting a trustworthy, professional collaboration to explore your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the stories that have shaped who you are today. We were created to flourish in our relationships but so often relational experiences feel disconnected, confusing, and messy. With God’s help through the context of Christian counseling, you can experience wholeness, recovery, and lasting hope.
In my sessions, I like to take a collaborative approach. With empathy and encouragement, I will guide and support you as you learn how to use your skills and develop increased motivation to reduce the mental health symptoms you are experiencing. One of my goals is to empower you to be in control of your own choices and, with God’s help, determine what is best for you according to His plan for your life. As you gain the tools to take these steps, you will become even more capable of handling life’s challenges on your own. As a result, there will be a decreased likelihood of symptoms flaring up in the future.
I’m a firm believer in the limitless possibilities for redemption through faith in Christ. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Supervisor with extensive experience in bilingual counseling, and helping people work through anxiety, depression, women’s issues, and trauma. I understand what it feels like to go through dark, seemingly hopeless times, but I know that everything God brings you through will shape you into all you are meant to become. Working with you is an honor, and I’m dedicated to helping you learn, heal, and grow as you work towards a future that is made new in Christ.
As your counselor, I will share professional and personal therapeutic strategies that will help you live a more balanced, connected, and joy-filled life in Christ. I offer counseling for children, teens, adult individuals, and families. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, concerns related to aging, or other challenges, it would be my pleasure to support you as you walk the path toward growth and healing. With God’s help through Christian counseling, it is possible to experience restoration.
I believe in the importance of honoring your unique story. Our stories – and the narratives we internalize about our stories – significantly shape the ways we engage with God, ourselves, and others. The first step in the healing journey is always powerful, and sometimes it can come with a sense of trepidation or hesitancy. Taking this step to seek care and share your story is a holy and sacred act. I would be honored to walk with you in your journey toward healing, freedom, and ongoing transformation.
I strive to create a safe, healthy space for my clients to navigate through life’s challenges in the presence of the Lord as much as they feel comfortable doing so. As a counselor, my goal is to serve you well as I am representing the Lord and allowing Him to work through me. Together, we will work through whatever difficulties you are facing with goals that are best fit for you and your circumstances. You don’t have to struggle alone. Help and hope are available, and I look forward to witnessing the Lord’s transformative work in your life through Christian counseling.
As a Christian counselor, I am here to support you through whatever challenges you are facing and to help you move forward in your life, with God’s guidance. So often in life, we can feel alone in what we’re going through. We may feel separated from those close to us and even separated from Jesus. It can be powerful to sit with another person, build a strong, therapeutic relationship, and know that you are heard, seen, and not alone. I will offer you a safe space, free of judgment, where we can work toward your unique goals so you can live freely as a beloved child of God.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have extensive experience working with a wide range of clients from diverse backgrounds, including teenagers, adult individuals, parents, and couples. As your therapist I promise to show up and listen well with empathy and a non-judgmental approach. I will work with you to process whatever issues you may be dealing with, whether it’s anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family problems, trauma, grief, abandonment issues, or other concerns. Together we will establish a workable plan with God’s guidance to help you move from despair and discouragement to healing and hope.
