Training and Specialties

I’ve had the privilege of providing therapy for over a decade, since graduating from Regent University with a master’s degree in counseling.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the State of California and a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist-Consultant, and I have specialties in eating disorders, trauma, Christian-informed therapy, depression and anxiety.

My Mission

My mission in life is to be a catalyst for others’ hope and healing.

I’ve seen life be messy, painful, chaotic, hilarious, ironic, confusing… dark and light and everywhere in between.

I don’t believe in clichés or easy answers. I believe in the hard (but rewarding!) work of courageous vulnerability, authentic connection, feeling the feelings, rewriting old narratives, unconditional self-compassion and other-compassion, and wild, unrelenting hope.

When I’m Not Doing Therapy

When I’m not working, I love to play beach volleyball, go for hikes, and start good books with every intention of finishing them.
