A steady space to make sense of your story

Relationships and life transitions can leave you disoriented, unsure of yourself, and like you just can’t hold it together anymore. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I have nearly 20 years of experience walking alongside clients navigating difficult life situations. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or stretched thin by the complexities of life or loss, I offer a steady space to slow down and untangle what feels heavy. I am deeply invested in helping you understand yourself and your story more fully so you can find stability, grace, and compassion for yourself in the midst of stress and overwhelm.

Thoughtful, engaged and supportive approach

I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, and genuine care with a focus on helping you understand not just what is happening in your life, but why. Together, we gently explore how your past experiences and core beliefs may be shaping your present emotions and patterns. Rather than staying at the surface, we work to understand the deeper roots so change is meaningful and lasting. I listen carefully, track the details of your story over time, and ask thoughtful questions that guide you deeper and bring clarity to what feels overwhelming.

Our work balances reflection with practical guidance, helping you understand yourself more deeply, reduce unwanted negative thoughts & emotions, and move forward with greater confidence and steadiness. Our sessions are active and engaging. You won’t simply talk; we will think together. I respectfully create space for honesty while also helping you challenge unhelpful patterns and beliefs. Upon request, I thoughtfully and ethically integrate Christian faith into the therapeutic process.

The heart of my work

My goal is to help you feel more grounded in who you are and more intentional in how you relate to others. Whether you are working through long-standing patterns or navigating a current life challenge, my hope is that our work together leads to new insights, renewed confidence, and sustainable growth. Therapy is not always easy work, but together we can make what feels broken into something beautiful!
