About me
I believe counseling should be a safe, welcoming place where clients feel seen, supported, and encouraged. I work collaboratively with each person to understand their story, identify meaningful goals, and build practical tools for healing and daily life.
My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive support. Christian counseling is also available for clients who would like to incorporate faith into the counseling process.
Whether someone is facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, family strain, or life transitions, I aim to meet them with warmth, honesty, and hope.
