About My Clients

I specialize in supporting people through some of life's more complex terrain — neurodivergence, trauma, addiction, and the particular challenges of navigating life across cultures. I blend evidence-based approaches like DBT with faith-informed care, and I'm especially drawn to walking alongside those who know what it's like to straddle different worlds and never quite feel fully at home in either.

My Background and Approach

Drawing on training in DBT, Christian counseling, and addiction recovery, I specialize in supporting adults with ASD, ADHD, trauma, substance use challenges, and cross-cultural transitions. My approach blends evidence-based tools with compassionate, faith-informed care — helping you build skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and healthier relationships. I believe your values, experiences, and context are central to your healing, and I'm committed to offering guidance that honors both your story and your strengths.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My path to counseling runs through Christian ministry and years of work in diverse, complex environments — experiences that shaped not just what I know, but how I show up for the people I work with. Those years gave me a deep respect for the complexity of human stories and the quiet strength people carry even in their hardest seasons. I provide care that holds both evidence-based practice and faith in the same space, because I believe lasting change happens when the whole person is honored. Whether your faith is a cornerstone of your healing or simply part of your background, there's room for all of it here.
