My goal in counseling is to establish relationships built on trust and safety, and from there help people heal and grow. I am a Christian counselor, which means that I use evidence-based practices that align with Biblical truth. I work with individuals with a variety of issues including but not limited to anxiety, depression, grief, crisis, abuse, parenting issues, relational challenges, and spiritual growth. With my training and experience as a teacher, I bring a unique skillset and level of care in working with children and families. I consider it a privilege to be able to come alongside men, women, and kids as they take steps towards health and healing.
I am located in Woodland, CA. Currently I meet with counesling clients over video call unless otherwise specificed.
