I am a counseling intern with a background in social work, including experience in crisis care. I have a passion for walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges.

My experience includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), with a focus on helping clients increase self-awareness, regulate emotions, and achieve treatment goals. My approach focuses on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—creating a safe, supportive space where clients can process their experiences, gain clarity, and feel genuinely seen and heard.

I have been married for 33 years and am the mother of two grown children. Our family continues to grow, and I feel deeply grateful to welcome daughters-in-law into this meaningful new season of life. Over the years, I have experienced both deep joy and significant hardship, including the loss of loved ones, miscarriage, parenting challenges, supporting a child with learning differences, and navigating relational struggles. These experiences have shaped my perspective and deepened my compassion for others.

I believe that while life brings seasons of disappointment, rejection, stress, anxiety, depression,and grief, it also offers opportunities for growth, healing, peace, and renewed hope. In life’s darkest valleys, I have found that God’s Word faithfully provides light, direction, and hope. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can process their thoughts, gain clarity, and feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

For those who are open to it, I thoughtfully integrate faith into the counseling process, believing that God invites us to ask, seek, and knock, and faithfully opens the door so we may move forward with clarity and purpose. No matter the season or transition you are facing, I am committed to walking alongside you—offering evidence-based techniques, practical tools, and compassionate care to help bring light and direction to your journey.
