I am someone to help you navigate difficult life issues in a safe and confidential environment. I am also passionate about helping individuals and couples build loving, authentic, and meaningful relationships- with God, with others, and with themselves. My approach is both warm and direct, combining clinical expertise, life experience, empathy and insight to bring clarity and renewed hope. My goal is to help you move beyond fear, guilt, and shame to a place of freedom and well-being.
To begin with I will listen to your story- to what has happened to you. I believe every story deserves to be heard with openness and deep respect. Carl Jung has written; “I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become.” This statement reflects the heart and soul of the therapeutic process.

At the heart of many struggles lies a profound sense of loss. Loss takes many different forms: trauma, death of a loved one, broken relationships, family conflict, divorce, miscarriage, job loss, declining health, aging, loss of identity, and a diminished sense of purpose and freedom. Together we will work to make sense of your pain, honor what has been lost and move toward hope and renewal. I believe grief work is soul work and that therapy in many ways is sacred ground. It takes extraordinary courage to face extraordinary loss.
Life is a gift but it also can be profoundly hard. When we become unraveled, it often shows up as anxiety, depression, anger, or a deep sense of emptiness. Therapy provides a space to reassemble what feels broken, to rediscover meaning and purpose, and to recognize we are often remade and transformed through grief and transition.
This work is sacred, courageous, and not meant to be done alone. My role is to walk with you, offer presence, perspective, and hope for a renewed sense of life and purpose.
If you sense I might be a good fit for you, I welcome you to reach out. It would truly be a joy and an honor to support you in reaching your goals.
