About

Are you feeling stuck in patterns you understand but can’t seem to change? Maybe you’re overwhelmed, uncertain about your direction, carrying wounds from the past, or struggling to feel connected to yourself, the people you love, or even God.

My work focuses on helping people grow in emotional resilience, relational maturity, spiritual depth, and a clearer sense of who they are and how they want to live. Together, we look beneath the immediate problem to understand the patterns, beliefs, emotions, relationships, and experiences that may be shaping the way you respond to life. From there, we work toward practical changes that help you live with greater freedom, purpose, and connection.

My approach is distinctly Christian while also drawing from established insights in psychology, coaching, and human development. I believe meaningful change involves more than simply knowing the right thing to do. It often requires learning to recognize what is happening within us, respond differently to difficult emotions, develop healthier relational patterns, and experience our identity and relationship with God more deeply.

I am a Board-Certified Pastoral Counselor (BCPC), Board-Certified Master Life Coach (BCLC), and Board-Certified Master Mental Health Coach (BCMMHC) through the International Board of Christian Care, a division of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I am also trained as a NeuroMindfulness® Coach Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Coach, and Relational Spirituality Coach. I am a licensed minister and have served in Christian ministry, teaching, pastoral care, and coaching for more than ten years.

Rather than using one method with every person, I tailor our work to your particular goals, personality, story, and season of life. My approach is informed by areas such as attachment and relational development, cognitive and behavioral approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles, mindfulness, strengths-based coaching, positive psychology, personality frameworks such as the Enneagram, solution-focused approaches, and Christian spiritual formation and prayer.

For couples, I have additional training in PREPARE/ENRICH and the Hope-Focused Approach to Couples Therapy.

I am a member of the International Christian Coaching Association, the American Association of Christian Counselors, and the Christian Association for Psychological Studies.

Ultimately, my goal isn’t simply to help you feel better or accomplish another goal. I want to help you become more grounded in who God created you to be, more capable of navigating life’s challenges, and more deeply connected to God, yourself, and the people who matter most.
