No struggle is too small or too overwhelming to seek support—whether it's anxiety, depression, unexpected changes, chronic pain, fatigue, or other conditions, I've been there myself. At my lowest, I felt stuck, convinced life couldn't improve. But through evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I transformed my own journey into one of empowerment and fulfillment. Today, I bring those same proven tools to help you reclaim joy, purpose, and peace in your life. My success stems from years of personal and professional experience guiding individuals just like you toward lasting change. As a Christian counselor, I integrate faith-based perspectives only at your request, creating a safe space where spirituality can enhance healing if it resonates with you. My Focus: Taming Overwhelm and Building Resilience If anxiety and stress have you feeling on edge, constantly overwhelmed by racing thoughts, you're in the right place. Together, we'll tame those inner storms, teaching you lifelong skills to navigate life's pressures with confidence. Beyond therapy, you'll emerge equipped to thrive, enjoying a balanced, empowered existence. My Journey to Mental Health Care Helping others has been my calling since my teenage years, when I started coaching and teaching. I spent years as a high school special education teacher, drawn to the deeper fulfillment of counseling. Pursuing that passion, I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University. My own life experiences—job loss, trauma, multiple chronic illnesses—have been overcome using the very techniques I share with clients. This personal foundation allows me to connect authentically, offering empathy rooted in real understanding.

Approach to Therapy

My Heart-Centered Approach My Communication Style: Gentle and Honest I believe in a gentle yet honest approach—sessions are flexible, person-centered, and designed around your unique needs. I'll challenge you thoughtfully while providing unwavering support, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered every step of the way. Picture this: Waking up refreshed, your mind clear and unburdened, ready to tackle what you've been avoiding. Being fully present in your relationships, loving yourself deeply, finding new love, or reigniting the spark in your partnership. That's the life we can build together. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), equipping you with practical skills to overcome anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, low self-esteem, chronic illness or pain, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. My Goals for You: Personalized Progress and Lasting Growth We'll collaborate to craft your therapy goals, creating a tailored plan we monitor and adjust regularly. Your progress is our priority, ensuring every session moves you closer to the fulfilling life you deserve. Your First Session: A Warm Welcome to Healing Our initial meeting is all about building connection. You'll share what feels right, ask any questions, and we'll outline your goals and plan. If you're unsure where to start, that's perfectly okay—I've got you covered with guidance and grace. Ready to embark on this transformative journey?
