About
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
Life can feel overwhelming—but healing is possible. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or relational struggles, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer counseling and life-coaching sessions designed to foster deep, lasting change. My approach blends warmth, honesty, and research-backed techniques to help you gain insight, process emotions, and take meaningful steps forward.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I’m committed to integrating faith-based, Biblical wisdom with clinical excellence. I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University’s School of Behavioral Sciences, and a Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Intercultural Studies from Columbia International University, where I cultivated a deep love for Scripture and cross-cultural ministry. I’m also a proud member of the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC).
Faith can be thoughtfully and respectfully woven into therapy for clients who desire spiritually-integrated care. I believe in honoring both God’s truth and sound psychological science, without compromising either.
As a wife and mother of five, I understand the complexity of real-life challenges and bring deep empathy to my work with parents, couples, and families. I provide support for those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse, mood disorders, and major life transitions.
I work with men, women, children, couples, and families to restore connection, build resilience, and promote emotional and relational well-being. As a trained EMDR therapist, I help clients reprocess painful memories and gain freedom from the past. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based approaches to support growth and emotional regulation.
In addition, I am an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) and provide comprehensive evaluations for Autism (ASD) and ADHD. I offer diagnostic clarity, compassionate feedback, and written reports and medical letters for school or workplace accommodations—because early, accurate diagnosis can be life-changing.
I offer individual, couples, marriage, family, and group therapy, both online and in-person. No matter where you are in your journey, you’re not alone. I would be honored to walk with you as you take your next steps toward healing, clarity, and wholeness
Therapy group for trauma, depression and anxiety starts June 16 at 7pm on Tuesday nights. Message me to sign up.
