Her Story
A Therapist Who Truly Understands
I bring a rare combination of advanced clinical training, diverse real-world experience, and genuine personal wisdom to every session. With graduate-level education in Marriage and Family Therapy, undergraduate foundations in Psychology, Business Education, and Biblical Studies, my approach is as multidimensional as the people I serve.
I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating some of life's most difficult challenges — trauma, infidelity, substance abuse and addiction, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My work is grounded in the belief that healing is always possible, and that every person deserves a safe, compassionate space to begin.
