I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice.  It was my own story that brought me to the field of counseling. I was familiar with working towards healing on my own, but I realized that I needed a wise guide to care for my story and soul.  This experience grew a passion in me to offer the same to others. I earned a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Troy University and certification as a National Certified Counselor from the NBCC.  I have extensive training in the area of trauma and abuse from the Allender Center at the Seattle School of Psychology and Theology, and earned Certification in Narrative Focused Trauma Care. I have additional training in EMDR and Play Therapy.  

Loving Jesus is something that is integrated within the fiber of who I am.  That relationship informs me as I engage with my clients, but I understand that traumatic events can fragment the way we view God, each other, and the world around us.  I am comfortable processing complexities in matters of faith with my clients.

I am passionate about being with my clients, which means sharp clinical skills and a warm, safe environment are of utmost importance. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in whether or not counseling is effective, and I collaborate with new clients to make sure it is a good fit.
