About
Life can feel heavy and uncertain, especially when anxiety, self-doubt, or complicated relationships take over. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling like you're “too much” or “not enough,” and longing for peace and direction. I work with women in their teens, 20s, 30s, and beyond who are navigating anxiety, identity, faith questions, burnout, or family and relationship challenges. My practice is trauma-informed, compassion-focused, and faith-integrated—blending evidence-based therapy with space for your story, values, and spirituality if you desire it. I offer a warm, relational approach that blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic perspective. With over 15 years of ministry and cross-cultural experience, I provide a supportive space to help clients grow, heal, and move forward with greater freedom, self-understanding, and purpose. Counseling meets you where you are. You don’t have to hold it all together alone. Wherever you are in your journey, you are worthy of healing, rest, and becoming. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Credentials & Experience: I'm a provisionally licensed professional counselor (P-LPC) with a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. With 15 years of ministry and cross-cultural experience, plus training in grief and trauma, I bring both compassion and clinical insight to my work.
