I build therapeutic partnerships where clients feel safe, encounter Christ, and experience true healing. My approach to therapy utilizes a Christ-Centered Therapy (CCT) framework, integrating the riches of the Christian tradition with evidence-based modalities. This integrative approach addresses spiritual health, trauma, addiction, and other struggles in a way that honors the body and the soul. I also specialize in helping clients break free from unwanted compulsive sexual behaviors.

As a school-based mental health specialist (K-12) I have additional expertise with children and adolescents. I use Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) to support emotional healing and development in younger children, while helping older students gain practical skills for success in adulthood. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where kids feel cared for and excited to return each week. I am honored to walk alongside individuals as they navigate the complexities of life, journey closer to God, and develop their true identity in Christ.

Beyond my clinical training, I bring over eight years of ministry experience working with adolescents in diverse settings. I have served as a church youth and worship leader, as well as a YoungLife leader for both middle and high school students. Most recently, my ministry work has extended to juvenile justice settings through YoungLife One, where I support incarcerated youth. My background also includes an internship at Christian Encounter Ranch, where I provided Christ-centered discipleship for at-risk teens in crisis. Ministry is foundational to who I am, and I approach counseling as a vital service to the Church and to my community. These years of service have deeply shaped my therapeutic approach, equipping me to offer a steady, compassionate anchor for clients navigating life’s heaviest challenges.

I am a graduate level counseling intern at A New Life Christian Counseling (ANLCC) and practice under the supervision of Brad Peterson, LMHC, LH60172629. I am able to see clients in person at ANLCC’s Vancouver, WA office and online with clients who live in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
