Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #LMFT-154901
Therapy is more than treatment – it’s transformation. It’s a journey toward wholeness, freedom, and living the truth of who God created you to be. I’m here to walk beside you as you grow stronger in your faith, your relationships, and your sense of self. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, I’m here to walk with you – offering a space that’s soul-honoring and full of grace. I believe that each of us carries God-given strength and resilience, and that with the right support, we can uncover healing, restore relationships, and walk confidently in our identity and purpose.
