Life can feel heavy when you’re stuck in patterns that once helped you survive but no longer serve you. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can reconnect with your core emotions and discover new ways of relating to yourself and others. I specialize in exploring the emotional roots of challenges such as developmental trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship difficulties. I also offer Christian counseling to support clients navigating questions of faith, spiritual struggles, and the connection between emotional and spiritual healing.
