View and Purpose “When all you know is fight or flight, red flags or butterflies all feel the same.” – Cindy Cherie Life can be incredibly hard. Many of us carry invisible wounds—burdens no one else can see, yet they weigh on us just the same. Some wounds are visible, etched into the fabric of our story, while others are tucked away behind a smile, a busy schedule, or the simple phrase, “I’m fine.” We move through our days, trying to hold everything together, even when it feels like our worlds are quietly unraveling. Past traumas resurface in sleepless nights, anxious thoughts, or waves of sadness we can't explain. Anxiety can be paralyzing, keeping us trapped in endless “what ifs” and fears of not being enough. Depression can dull every color of life, making joy feel distant and unreachable. Pain, no matter its form, is real—and healing can feel out of reach, especially when it feels like no one truly understands. These hard and painful experiences can rob us of hope. They can convince us that we’re broken, that joy is for other people, and that our purpose is lost somewhere in the mess. They can silence our ability to dream, to care, to connect. Trauma doesn’t just affect what happened to us—it touches how we see ourselves, others, and the world. But healing is possible. It’s not always easy, and it rarely looks like a straight line. But you don’t have to walk it alone. As a therapist, my purpose is to meet you in that space—to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and compassionate environment where you can begin to untangle your pain, reconnect with your worth, and rewrite the narratives that have held you back. I believe therapy is a sacred space—one where you are seen, heard, and valued—not just for who you’ve been or what you’ve survived, but for who you are and who you are becoming. My passion for therapy is rooted in a deep belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and the right to feel whole. I believe in helping you reclaim your story, rediscover your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward freedom, joy, and purpose—however that looks for you. Whether you're navigating trauma, loss, anxiety, or identity, my role is to walk alongside you—not to fix you, but to empower you to find your own healing and hope. You are not too much. You are not too broken. You are worthy of healing, and your story matters.

About Me I am a licensed therapist with a deep passion for walking alongside individuals as they navigate the complexities of trauma, grief, identity, and emotional healing. With years of experience in both clinical and faith-based settings, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy—one that honors your story and supports your goals. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, DBT, and Brainspotting to help clients process pain, build resilience, and reconnect with their true selves. Whether you are facing a recent challenge or carrying years of silent struggle, I offer a space where healing and hope can begin to take root. I know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, even intimidating—but I want you to know you are not alone. It takes strength to seek support, and it would be an honor to walk with you on your journey. Healing doesn't mean forgetting or pretending things are okay—it means learning to live fully again, with freedom, self-compassion, and renewed purpose. Wherever you are in your story, you are welcome here.
