My approach to therapy is not just merely relieving symptoms or polishing the surface of a person’s life. I see it as sacred ground—a place where the Spirit meets the soul in its most honest form. As Scripture tells us, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). Therapy, to me, is often the space where that nearness becomes tangible.

I do not believe pain is the enemy. In fact, pain often speaks with the voice of truth. It tells us where we’ve been wounded, where we’ve believed lies about who we are, and where we’ve learned to hide from love. Suffering, though never desired, becomes a threshold—a place where God does some of His deepest work. Paul writes, “we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3–4). I have seen this truth unfold in the quiet bravery of those who sit across from me and choose to face what hurts.

In that sacred space, identity becomes central. Not the fractured identity shaped by shame or fear, but the identity declared by God: “You are my beloved.” Therapy, then, becomes an act of remembering—of returning to what was true before the world tried to rewrite your worth. “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation; the old has gone, the new is here” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That newness isn’t a mask; it’s a restoration. A becoming.

The process is rarely linear. Sometimes it feels like wandering in the wilderness, but even there, God provides—manna, presence, direction. I do not claim to be the healer. I simply create a space where healing can take root, where truth can be spoken, where the soul has room to breathe. I walk with people as they unlearn fear and relearn freedom, not through striving, but through grace.

In the end, I believe that peace is not found in the absence of struggle, but in the presence of God—”the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7). And freedom? It is not the escape from pain, but the courage to face it without being defined by it. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” (Galatians 5:1).

This is how I see therapy: not as a solution, but as a journey toward truth, wholeness, and the abundant life Jesus promised.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents—each carrying their own unique stories, struggles, and longings. Together, we engage in both deep soul work and practical growth. We explore skills and tools for coping, healthy communication, and conflict resolution. We address trauma, anxiety, depression, bitterness, and the hard but holy work of forgiveness. We untangle thought patterns that wound and behaviors that sabotage connection. In the safety of the therapeutic space, we bring order to chaos, uncover meaning in suffering, and make room for vulnerability, curiosity, and healing. We grieve broken dreams and rediscover hope. We reflect, repent, and rebuild. Above all, we seek truth—and in that truth, the freedom Christ promised to those who dare to walk in it.
