About

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I work with people facing many different challenges, including relationship and family concerns, substance use, trauma, grief, OCD, career stress, and personality-related difficulties.

I have specialized training in OCD treatment using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), EMDR for trauma, and family therapy. I use a range of proven, evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care.

I welcome and support people of all backgrounds, cultures, religions, and ages. Whether you are looking for individual counseling or family support, I believe healing looks different for everyone. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and centered around your goals. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout the process.

I believe that the relationship between a client and therapist is one of the most important parts of healing, and I value that trust deeply. If you are ready to begin therapy, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward greater health and well-being.

Frequently asked

I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples who are experiencing a variety of concerns, including anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, relationship and family challenges, substance use, career stress, and personality-related difficulties. I welcome clients from all backgrounds, cultures, religions, and life experiences, and I believe therapy should be a place where everyone feels respected, understood, and supported.
Yes. I have specialized training in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. Treatment is always personalized to your needs, goals, and comfort level.
I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative and tailored to the individual. I draw from several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed care. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan that helps you build practical skills, increase self-awareness, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your concerns, talk about your goals, and begin creating a plan that feels right for you. I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your experiences, and moving at a pace that feels safe.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Feeling heard, understood, and supported creates the foundation for meaningful growth and lasting change. My goal is to build a relationship based on trust, respect, and collaboration so you feel empowered throughout your therapy journey.
