About

I believe that you have both an incredible goodness and a bent to get it wrong.

You mean well. You try hard. But none of us can see ourselves from the outside.

We all need an outside perspective to help us grow to our fullest potential. And that outside perspective needs to come from a safe person.

I believe your story matters.

How you got here is important.

Hurtful and traumatic interactions shaped who you became and affect you today. We’re all on a journey to a better life.

God used my own story to lead me to become a licensed psychotherapist. And He wants to use your story to lead you to the life He’s planned for you.

I can quickly identify the emotion you’re feeling.

I have an innate sense of what happened and I don’t make light of it. I am passionate about helping you find freedom and break the cycle. Your wholeness is my ultimate goal.

When I see your breakthrough, I celebrate.

I find deep satisfaction in helping you gain the joy you’re seeking.

I believe that how I develop myself has a direct impact on our work together.

If I’m not healthy, I can’t help you be healthy.

I believe in the therapy process so much that I also see a therapist on a consistent basis. I do this so I can give you the best possible care.
