I believe that we are created for wholeness: mind, body, and spirit. This world, circumstances, and we cause fractures and injury to all three of those elements of our being. When we are rightly related to our Creator, to others, and ourselves then we can operate in the fullness of life that we are meant to experience.
Sometimes life goes exactly as planned and other times we face unexpected curveballs. This can result in grief, loss, depression, anxiety and more. When this happens, life can seem daunting and insurmountable but there is always hope. With a caring ear, guidance, & therapy methods that fit your situation, the challenges of life can be a catalyst for growth, healing, and joy!
Life experiences create joy, excitement, and happiness. However, we can feel sorrow, despair, or hopelessness through life changes. Seeking counseling takes courage to expose our emotions and vulnerabilities.
Everyone walks the path of life differently. Some paths have more obstacles than others which can make it harder for people to move forward in the way they feel that they should. I want to join you on your journey with an empathetic ear and offer supportive guidance as you walk your path towards healing.
Do you ever find yourself asking, “What’s the point?” Does time feel like it stands still while life moves forward without you? Maybe it’s hard to make eye contact with yourself in the mirror. Perhaps you’ve faced setback after setback, only to be met with more. You long to live fully, but feel stuck in the mundane. You believe in God’s truths, yet bitterness lingers in your circumstances. If any of this resonates—you are not alone.
As a counselor with a compassionate heart and steadfast presence, I bring years of experience serving alongside the fire department in a crisis support role. I've had the profound privilege of being present with individuals during life’s most challenging moments—offering care and support in the wake of tragedy and loss. Equally, I've stood by them in times of triumph and celebration, recognizing the resilience of the human spirit.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like no one really sees what you're carrying, you're not alone and you don't have to face it all by yourself. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, self-worth, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
When life feels heavy, it helps to have someone in your corner. Maybe you're feeling anxious, stressed out, or stuck and unsure of what’s next—and that’s okay. This is a space just for you, somewhere you can talk honestly, feel heard without judgment, and access support designed to help you grow and heal.
As a counselor, I believe that every person is created with inherent worth, dignity, and the capacity for growth. While the human condition is marked by struggles, brokenness, and the longing for connection, I am committed to walking alongside individuals as they navigate their journey toward wholeness.
