I am passionate about helping people feel cared for. I see the therapeutic relationship as a powerful force for growth, healing, and hope; I believe a large part of therapy includes hospitality, so my goal is for clients to feel comfortable and seen. I love helping others find hope in God, but warmly welcome clients of varying faith backgrounds. God has given, and continues to give, me so much grace and I desire for others to experience that as well.
