Christian Counseling, Trauma Healing & Hope

Life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from who we are and who we want to be. My goal is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can feel heard, explore your experiences, and begin moving toward healing and meaningful change.

As a Resident in Counseling, I draw from trauma-informed care, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). These approaches allow us to work together to process difficult experiences, understand patterns that may be holding you back, develop practical coping skills, and identify the strengths and resources you already possess. I strive to provide neurodiversity-affirming care that respects individual differences rather than treating them as something that needs to be fixed.

My Christian faith is an important part of how I understand healing, hope, and the value of every person. When desired by the client, I incorporate Scripture and Christian principles into counseling in a way that respects your beliefs, personal experiences, and comfort level.

Scriptures that inform my approach include:

Psalm 34:18 (ESV): “The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” This reminds us that we are not alone in our pain and that we can find comfort in the midst of suffering.
Isaiah 43:2 (ESV): “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you.” This verse offers a reminder of God’s presence during difficult seasons of life.

I also believe healing does not have to mean focusing only on what is wrong. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy helps us identify what is already working, recognize exceptions to the problems we face, build on personal strengths, and take manageable steps toward our goals. Even small changes can create momentum over time.

Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, difficult life transitions, or challenges with emotional regulation, we can work collaboratively at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and a life that reflects your values.

You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Healing is a process, and you deserve compassion and support along the way.
