I believe that we are storied beings - that we find meaning and hope within the complex narratives and systems we inhabit. Sometimes these systems and narratives are imposed on us and impede well-being. I listen to and work with people to understand, name, and reauthor these stories so a greater sense of well-being is achieved.

I have been in the caring professions for over 25 years with experience in psychiatric group homes and hospitals, higher education, and church settings. I have extensive training in the Gottman Method for couples therapy (Level 1, Level 2, Seven Principles, and Couples in Recovery), Restoration Therapy for individuals and couples, and have training in HeartMath techniques for self-regulation. I am also well trained in and regularly use EMDR for working with trauma.

As an ordained minister with doctoral level training, I am well positioned to integrate faith with therapy when desired. Though my background is evangelical, I have a progressive, open, relational, affirming, and generous view of the Divine. I would happily walk with someone going through faith deconstruction, questioning, or transition. My own understanding of faith compels me to see all people as loved and worthy, no strings attached.

Though I specialize in couples therapy, I also work with individuals, families, and children. I believe hope hovers within reach of everyone, offering true peace and wholeness. I welcome the opportunity to enter your story as you discover your own strength, resilience, and ability to flourish.
