Introduction

Hi, I’m a faith-based therapist who believes faith and therapy can coexist without judgment, shame, or having all the answers. I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationships, and life’s difficult questions. My approach integrates faith, spirituality, systemic and person-centered therapy, allowing us to explore how your experiences, beliefs, relationships, and family patterns shape your life. Whether you’re seeking healing, clarity, or simply trying to make sense of where you are, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and life transitions. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, their faith, or others. I provide a safe, client centered space to explore what’s bene. Using CBT, Insight Driven, and Person-Centered care, I’ll walk alongside you toward healing and growth.
