About

I specialize in trauma therapy and work with adult survivors of childhood abuse, domestic violence, Narcissistic abuse, inter-generational trauma, adoption issues, attachment wounds and spiritual abuse. You can expect a warm and understanding atmosphere as we discuss the areas that you would like to work on and create a treatment plan together. I have 17 years of experience in the trauma field.  My approach includes a Biblical perspective throughout the therapeutic process.  I am comfortable with exploring the hard subjects and letting the light of The Word bring clarity to dark places.

I work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced life’s traumas through counseling tailored to their needs from a Biblical prospective. My passion is to see wounds healed by way of the therapeutic process and watch lives and families change for generations to come. I am licensed in both Oregon and Kansas and am ready to support you no matter where you are in either state through online sessions.
