About

Sometimes, life feels like a lost melody leaving you struggling to find where you belong. My passion is to help you feel truly seen and heard. Therapy for me, is about diving into the depths with you, where we can uncover and restore goodness, beauty, and love.

As a musician and former church ministry leader, I understand the intricacies of ministry, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals navigating it’s complexities. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and specialize in healing sympmtoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. Additionally I am certified in Prepare and Enrich, a comprehensive assesment tool used in both premarital and marriage therapy, equipping couples for their journey together through all stages of life. Whether working with adults, children, or couples, I bring a unique approach to each session. In couples therapy, I blend Emotionally Focused Therapy with How We Love (attachment therapy) to reignite connection and intimacy. For child therapy, I utilize music therapy, drawing from my previous role as an Elementary Music Teacher.

In our sessions, I'll psycho-educate around trauma and attachment. We'll collaborate on goals aimed at bringing you more peace and connection in your life, while addressing trauma symptoms that may leave you feeling stuck. At times, i'll challenge faulty core beliefs as your advocate, holding space for all your emotions and experiences.

Together, we will sit, wrestle, and re-write hurt stories. We'll navigate your hurts, helping you find your place again and rediscover your own rhythm. If you would like more information, please reach out for a free consultation where we can get to know each other. You were never meant to walk through this pain alone!

What I Do in My Free Time

When I am not in the therapy room, you can find me rollerblading on the beach, exploring a new local coffee shop, playing my guitar and making music, taking a spontaneous day trip somewhere new, or spending time with friends and family.
