Introduction
At A New Perspective Counseling, I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can finally exhale — a space where you do not have to perform, hide, or carry everything alone. With a decade of experience as a pastoral counselor and time spent working in higher levels of care for eating disorder, I have come to see that healing and grow is never the same across the board. It takes time, patience, and compassion. I also recognize the need for integration of one's faith is crucial when desired in the counseling process. I work with teens and adults navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image struggles, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions, while also recognizing how these experiences are often deeply connected to trauma, relationships, identity, stress, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” I know healing is rarely linear, and I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, honesty, and respect for your unique story. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I want therapy to feel human — not clinical or judgmental. Together, we work toward understanding patterns with gentleness, building trust with yourself, and creating a life that feels more peaceful, connected, and sustainable. Whether you are feeling stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, you do not have to navigate it alone. I believe healing happens slowly, safely, and in relationship — one honest conversation at a time.
