She blends professional therapeutic techniques with a faith-informed perspective to support individuals and couples facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and depression.

Her practice attends to a wide range of life challenges including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, commitment and control issues, communication challenges, and the emotional impacts of divorce or separation. She also works with clients coping with fertility struggles, guilt and shame, and the search for forgiveness and meaning.

She aims to create a space where spiritual values and therapeutic goals can be explored together to foster healing and growth.

Her typical work hours are Monday through Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and she is most responsive to messages during those times. She remains unavailable from Thursday through Sunday but checks messages and replies when she is able.
