Thriving in a world torn apart by broken relationships, unmet expectations, and ongoing heartache can seem like a far off dream. While navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, I believe God uses our pain to help us see ourselves, to see God, and to see others more accurately. I am passionate about helping people move from brokenness and sorrow to hope and restoration, and I believe that this journey is not meant to be an independent one. I’m here as a companion for this journey to help you to uncover your God-given identity, and embrace a healthy sense of self.
I offer biblically based Christian counseling, Spiritual Direction, and Grief Recovery services. I am trained in inner healing prayer and have worked with post-abortive women, and women navigating miscarriage and pregnancy loss. I offer a non-judgmental space to ask hard questions and wrestle with faith and spirituality.
I am here to support those navigating a season of spiritual deconstruction, church or spiritual abuse, life transitions, grief, divorce, forgiveness issues, OCD, narcissistic relationships, vocation and calling, and seasons of discernment. If any of that describes you, let's chat. It would be an honor to walk with you.

I work with clients who want to integrate faith into their counseling experience. I offer a holistic approach to healing, recognizing that you are more than just your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors.
