Do you often feel anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of your worth? Have you ever heard yourself say “I’m too much” or “too complicated” or my life is “too messy”? Are you ready to break old patterns and heal what has been ignored for so long? I’m especially passionate about working with you to be a safe place to heal, be understood, and learn you were never too much to begin with. I will help you feel more connected, emotionally steady, hopeful, and confident.

I specialize in trauma and complex trauma, family-of-origin wounds, anxiety, people-pleasing, boundary setting, identity and self-worth struggles, parenting stress, and rebuilding after difficult seasons of life. I also love supporting foster and adoptive families, special needs families, grief, and family conflict. I’m trained in wraparound care, protective factors, and completed a year-long training program focused on supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse.

MY BACKGROUND AND APPROACH

I hold a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mid-America Christian University. My approach combines evidence-based methods like CBT, attachment-focused therapy, and family systems work in a way that feels practical, relational, and human. Together, we work to understand patterns, regulate emotions without shutting down, rewrite old narratives, and create healthier relationships. For clients who desire it, I can also thoughtfully integrate issues of faith and spirituality into the counseling process.

Clients often describe me as steady, compassionate, genuine, and unafraid of the hard stories. I consider it an honor to walk alongside people as they rediscover their voice, their worth, and the possibility of healing. Clients often come to therapy feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of their worth. Through our work together, they begin to understand their patterns, regulate emotions without shutting down, build healthier relationships, and rewrite old narratives that no longer serve them. Over time, many clients find themselves feeling more emotionally steady, hopeful, confident, and able to respond to life with intention instead of fear.
