- LMHC, LCPC
I'm a therapist with six years of clinical experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and anger management concerns. My focus areas include communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose, social anxiety, guilt and shame, forgiveness, control issues, and posttraumatic stress.
Christian counseling is available upon request.
I also specialize in supporting clients through divorce and separation, body image concerns, attachment issues, caregiver stress, financial challenges, and relationship dynamics. I have experience working with men's issues, young adults, military and veteran populations, and first responders. Additionally, I support individuals addressing obsessive-compulsive patterns, process addictions, substance use concerns, family and blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, and personality-related challenges.
My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a commitment to meeting you where you are. I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you work toward healing and growth. For clients who value faith in their therapeutic journey, I'm happy to integrate that perspective into our work together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
