As you might expect, I bring a faith-based approach to counseling. My greatest desire is to support you in your healing process and to help you discover the amazing person God created you to be.
I believe that even the best counselor is limited in this endeavor without God directing and guiding the process. We are all broken to some degree, and I don’t want my own limitations to prevent you from achieving the best that He has in store for you.
I ask God every day to show me the wonder of the clients He brings into my office. He then helps me to help them in ways that are unique to each person’s needs.
Yes, I am Christian, and I happily work with clients of all faiths.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Changes are coming! I am in the process of transitioning my business to focus on coaching, teaching and training. I will no longer be accepting new counseling clients as of the end of 2024.
A Little About Me

I provide individual counseling services to both women and men and have specialized expertise in treating adult women who experienced childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other forms of trauma.
My clients experience me as an interactive, solution-focused therapist who provides support and guidance to help them heal and more effectively address current life challenges and long-standing issues.
In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer an integrative, personalized approach which heals wounds that often prevent people from moving forward. My work supports individuals in developing their strengths, achieving life goals, and attaining the personal growth and freedom they desire.
My office is located in Auburn, Washington, and I provide counseling services nationally and internationally via telephone and video conferencing platforms.

Therapeutic Approach
I experience life as a mysterious journey with many unexpected twists and turns. I view the healing process as an important part of that journey, one that can bring meaning and understanding to those experiences which have significantly impacted our lives.
My desire as a therapist is to partner with you to bring the gift of hope as you address the areas of your life you would like to change.
When this healing takes place, you will naturally see new options and begin making more positive life choices that will be reflected in all of your relationships. During the healing process I also support you in developing strengths, pursuing life goals, and attaining the overall growth you desire.
My treatment approach depends on the needs of each client. I draw on family of origin and systems theory, as well as cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). I am also a Personal and professional Coach and frequently utilize coaching principles in my work.
