Nice to meet you

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you bring your experiences and I provide tools, guidance, and a safe, non-judgmental space. I work with clients seeking support through evidence-based approaches such as CBT and mindfulness, and for those who desire it, I integrate Biblical, Christ-centered care through prayer, scripture, and faith reflection. My style is warm, compassionate, and practical—I listen deeply, encourage growth, and offer gentle honesty to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped to move forward with peace.

Interests

Outside of work, I find joy and balance in being a wife and mother of two, which continually shapes my perspective on family life and relationships. I value exercise and self-care as ways to stay grounded and energized. My faith is central to my life, and I am actively involved in ministry at my church, where I enjoy serving and connecting with others. These roles and practices enrich my personal growth and allow me to bring authenticity, empathy, and resilience into my work with clients.
