Get To Know Me
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
If I could share one thing, it’s that therapy is not about judgment or being “fixed”—it’s about creating a safe, faith-honoring space where you can be honest with yourself, untangle your fears, and gain radical clarity. Even if you feel stuck or overwhelmed, therapy can help you discover your strength, understand your options, and move forward with confidence—whether that means healing within your marriage or finding peace beyond it.

Work HistoryI help high-achieving Christian wives in their 30s who feel trapped in limbo—torn between their faith, their vows, and the aching question of whether their marriage can survive. Many clients come to therapy exhausted from holding everything together while quietly questioning what’s next. With over ten years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s toughest seasons, I blend CBT, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches to provide a supportive, faith-honoring space. Together, we’ll untangle the fears and beliefs keeping you stuck, strengthen your sense of self, and gain clarity about the path forward—whether that means healing within your marriage or finding peace beyond it.
