Henri Nouwen says “real care means the willingness to help each other in making our
brokenness into the gateway to joy.” My mission is to do just that – to care enough to enter into the places of brokenness and find healing, new life, and deep joy that cannot help but be shared with the world. I believe counseling is about discovering self on the way to discovering God, that God can and does reveal himself to us as we courageously face ourselves, both in our woundedness and in our belovedness. I strive to make the therapy room a safe place to do the challenging work of self-discovery, where we can tell and re-tell our stories in the light of God’s love.

I employ a robust, integrated Christian psychology approach which combines evidenced-based practices with sound Christian wisdom. I counsel with attention to the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. I strive to find healing for both past wounds and present concerns, meeting clients where they are in their struggles, and helping them towards achieving their counseling goals.

Methods and approach include: EMDR therapy, ERP,  trauma-informed, relationally focused, EFT, polyvagal theory, attachment-based, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Although I am transparent about my Christian perspective, I will be respectful of all faiths or no faith.
