About
There is a common saying that God never gives us more than we can handle. My experience has taught me something a little different: sometimes life does give us more than we can handle alone. In those moments, God often provides people to walk alongside us, offering support, wisdom, hope, and healing.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have specialized in trauma - informed care. As a woman, I bring to the table a wealth of knowledge in overcoming life transition situations, navigating empty nest, divorce, widowhood, and significant personal losses. And as a person who cares, I want to help you find your path to healing pain and trauma.
You matter and you are not alone...I am inviting you to talk with me. Together we will work towards finding a path of healing for you and it is my desire to walk alongside you as you move forward to a better and more peaceful life. My approach is simple: we will work together, move at your pace and honor your story

My Approach
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, collaborative, and compassionate. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe healing happens through connection, honesty, and developing insight into how past experiences shape present patterns. Together, we work to build healthier coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
