About Me

I went into the field of psychotherapy with a passion for people. I am highly relational, warm and accepting. I try to help people gain insight into how the past has shaped them for the better and for the worse.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Excelsior College in 2005 and a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary in 2008.

I am also an Adjunct Professor at my alma mater, Western Seminary. I am a learner by nature and I love teaching students who are at the start of their own journey.. I try to communicate the same passion of teaching to my clients knowing we all have the capacity for growth.

My specialities include:

Trauma
Grief and Loss
Depression, Anxiety
Addiction and Recovery
Codependency
Communication Skills
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Mindfulness

Christian Counseling

For those who want to integrate a Christian faith based perspective into their therapy, I offer a Christian faith-based approach along with professional training in psychotherapy to address all areas of a person's life. I am committed to helping you to experience healing and have a more balanced, meaningful life. It is my honor to work with you on your journey.
