From as far back as I remember, I have possessed the desire to truly know the depths of the people I met. Every person has a story and I find their stories so compelling – the joys, hardships, adversities, struggles, and passions. Life will throw all types of challenges and hardships we never imagined that make us feel like we are lost in a storm. In my own life, I have faced my own challenges of depression, anxiety, loss, and loneliness that required guidance and care from others. We were made for relationships that provide support, wisdom, and love to assist us during troubled times when we feel lost. This is the type of community Jesus desires to connect us to so that we can know his love, hope, grace, support, and wisdom more deeply. I personally have experienced much support, wisdom, and growth during troubled times from going to counseling that has contributed to the person I am today. My joy is to provide this path of growth to others because I have benefited so much in my life from counseling.

I discovered my heart for people who feel lost and without hope during my time on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ. Multiple students felt controlled by pornography, sex addiction, substances, and depression. I met students who had trouble figuring out what they wanted to do with their lives and where to find meaning. I found myself more and more engaged in those conversations as well as wanting to grow in my ability to help those who are struggling. So I decided to acquire my Masters in Counseling and attended specialized trainings in order to better understand as well as help strugglers. My goal is to be a fellow traveler with those who struggle. Together we can understand how you got there and we can discover a path forward in order to achieve freedom from your struggle to a better life. Addiction takes a devastating toll on the struggler, the partner of the struggler, and the families. My specialties are sex addiction, porn addiction, trauma, and substance addiction. My counseling is offered from a Christian worldview but is not limited to faith-based therapy. I am willing to meet you where you are – it is your story.

My rates are $155 for 50 minutes. Just wanted to be upfront with you so that you can find the best quality care for you. I also use the Gottman method when it comes to couples and have completed my level 3 training.
