About the Therapist

Life can be incredibly difficult, and seeking support makes perfect sense. My role is to help you untangle the complicated thoughts, emotions, and patterns that leave you feeling stuck — and to help you find the freedom to think, feel, speak, and act in alignment with who you truly are.

I can help with: life transitions · chronic illness and health struggles · faith transitions and existential questions · couples and communication

How I Work

Real change takes courage and hard work. Therapy isn’t always easy; at times it may feel uncomfortable. But healing happens through the process, not by avoiding it. What I offer is trust, hope, and a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of my clients come to therapy in seasons of transition — adjusting to a new phase of life, living with illness or recovering from health struggles, or confronting long-standing narratives shaped by faith, family, or cultural expectations. These moments can feel disorienting, but they hold the potential for deep transformation. My approach is existential at its heart: as M. Scott Peck writes, “Life is difficult.” That truth resonates because it’s real. Realness is at the heart of my work — you don’t have to perform or pretend with me.

Counseling for Couples

Relationships can bring both deep joy and deep pain. When communication breaks down, trust is shaken, or conflict feels like an endless loop, seeking help isn’t a sign of failure — it’s a commitment to something better. In therapy, both partners are heard, valued, and understood. Together we’ll work to rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a stronger, more fulfilling connection.

About Me

I’ve been a therapist since 2015, working in medical settings — supporting individuals with serious health conditions and their families — and in private practice with individuals, youth, couples, and families. My path to counseling began after a transformative time at L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland, where I found mentors who listened to my deep questions about family, faith, and identity. That experience shaped my passion for creating a space where others feel heard, supported, and empowered. A mentor once told me, “What has been broken in relationship can only be healed in relationship.” I seek to build relationships with my clients that foster healing.
