My path into trauma therapy is both professional and personal. Early in my life, I became deeply aware of how unresolved experiences can quietly shape thoughts, emotions, and relationships — even when someone appears capable, faithful, and “doing everything right.”

Like many of the clients I now work with, I spent years trying to understand and resolve emotional pain through insight, effort, and traditional cognitive approaches. While those methods were helpful, they did not fully address the deeper, physiological patterns held in the nervous system.

Following a significant life event, it became clear that I needed more than coping strategies — I needed a way for my body and mind to truly process what had been stored. That experience led me to Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a trauma-informed approach that allowed meaningful relief without reliving or retelling painful memories in detail.

This work profoundly shaped both my personal healing and my clinical direction.

I am now Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and have completed over 600 processing sessions with adults seeking relief from long-standing anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity-related distress, compulsive behaviors, and persistent relational patterns. I specialize in helping individuals who have been in therapy before, tried hard to “fix” themselves, and still feel stuck.

Many of my clients grew up within a Christian context. They are often responsible, introspective, and deeply committed to doing what is right — sometimes at the expense of their own emotional needs. My role is not to challenge beliefs or values, but to create a calm, respectful space where healing can occur without pressure, judgment, or the need for more effort.

My approach is collaborative, paced to your readiness, and grounded in nervous-system-based processing. Healing does not require perfection or endless analysis. It requires the right kind of support. My work focuses on helping the nervous system complete what was left unfinished, so emotional reactions no longer feel automatic or overwhelming.

You don’t have to carry everything alone anymore.
