Life is often a mix of challenges and joys. Highs and lows. Sometimes, however, those lows can become too much to bear on our own. Relationships, crises and personal struggles can often feel so complex, it is difficult to see a way out. My passion and purpose is to walk alongside you in your pain, providing the clinical tools, proven techniques, and faith-based encouragement to find your way through.

I have experience working in private practice and non-profit capacities as well as 6 years of ministry experience. My amazing husband Craig and I have been married for 10 years and have experienced our fair share of those highs and lows- including infertility, owning a small business, miscarriage, hard miracle labors, and adopting two infants in less than a year. It has been a wild, wonderful ride so far! We have 3 beautiful children, ages 6, 18 months and 8 months.
I have experience in both Christian and secular counseling as well as a passion for clinically sound, evidenced-based practice. Providing these in a safe, non-judgmental environment is the key to great therapy.
I believe your time is valuable and your heart is precious. I also believe you were created to not just live, but thrive. It would be my joy and honor to help you get there.
"He [Jesus] is before all things, and in him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17
