About me...

​I believe the essence of the therapeutic relationship is that it is a place where people can come to find a respite from the life contexts where their pain has been maintained or where they feel stuck and unable to move forward. My own relational journey with God and others has written on my heart a life purpose to give individuals and couples a safe and nonjudgmental space to heal from past wounds and to experience joy, peace, and freedom of heart. My desire is that my clients will discover a new vision for their identity, purpose, and relationships as an outcome of this healing, and that as the new vision is birthed, that therapy would become a place of learning new tools and strategies to work towards it, and a place of empowerment, encouragement, accountability, and support. I love affirming and rejoicing with clients as I see them courageously relating to others in healthier ways and taking brave steps toward their life purpose based on the healing they have experienced and the tools they have learned. I would feel privileged to be on the journey with you as you pursue healing and freedom in your life and relationships.
