Rest for the weary today, hope for tomorrow.

As a counselor, I help my clients recognize their strengths, resources, and worth so they can heal from the past and move toward hope and freedom. My perspective is rooted in a Christian worldview, with a belief that every person is valuable, unique, and created with purpose, but I welcome, respect, and work with people from any or no faith background. My services are personalized to your needs. I partner with clients facing anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship struggles, seeking to understand your story and honor your values as we work toward a healthier, more meaningful life.

My experience has a broad basis. I have worked in schools, group homes, and in substance use centers. I have significant training and experience in working with children. I have taken numerous classes in play therapy from the NNU Center for Play Therapy and several other child/adolescent-focused courses.

I operate from a person-centered approach integrated with other methods, particularly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can provide Biblical Christian counseling. I also have training in attachment theory, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I have a specialty in trauma, with training in EMDR adapted for children and adolescents, which supports reprocessing of trauma, depression, and anxiety; Trauma-Focused CBT (a CBT intervention for children with trauma); and Play Therapy adapted for trauma.
