I know that seeking out therapy can feel overwhelming and uncomfortable, so I’m glad you’re here!

My role as a guide is to help you gain long-term, life-changing tools so you can shape your life into the one you desire. I have an eclectic approach to counseling and use cognitive behavioral therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), emotionally focused therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, schema therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and written exposure therapy for trauma.

Specific areas of clinical experience include anxiety disorders, borderline personality disorder, trauma and PTSD, issues related to dysfunctional family systems, family of origin issues, and victims of domestic violence and abuse. Everyone's story matters. Let's explore your story so you can have the growth and healing you deserve.

I believe healing begins when we allow someone else to bear witness to and respond with care to our untold stories. It is only through courageously and honestly exploring our experiences of pain that we are able to break free from old patterns and start on a new path towards wholeness. My desire in the counseling room is to create a safe space for clients to show up with their stories, no matter how scary or painful. Through kind and curious engagement, clients can begin to make sense of their story and its impact not only on the past but also on the present. The importance of engaging my own story began in 2013 when I started on my personal counseling journey. I also spent several years working in the college ministry context and there discovered my passion for walking through life’s ups and downs with young adults. After moving back to my hometown of Orlando, I earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary. My counseling approach pulls from relational, narrative, and attachment models.
