Counseling is a sacred experience in which a client and therapist venture into hidden pains, untold stories, and the dark parts of life's journey together. As a Christian, I believe that the healing process cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit, the Great Counselor. But as a trained, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I know that faith communities, Christian family members, and other close Christian relationships often fail to authentically meet us in the depths of our despair and sorrow. With me as your counselor, I hope you will find a spaciousness to be your full imperfect self without fear of judgement or shame. My 11 years of clinical practice has focused primarily on working with women who have suffered from trauma (often sexual), substance abuse, and disordered body image/eating disorders. I focus on developing a trusting relationship with my clients, as most issues that bring clients to counseling occur in the context of relationship. Please note: I do not work with children or adolescents. I do not work with couples. I cannot see anyone with a State-funded insurance such as AppleHealth, Molina, Amerigroup, etc., even if you wish to pay out-of-pocket. My schedule is currently FULL. Please check back in January 2025 for availability.
