A little more about me.

Attending Fuller Theological Seminary for graduate school was an intentional decision, as I desired to learn about how theology and psychology could work together in the process of healing. Our beliefs help us to make meaning of what happens in our life and how we choose to respond. They are a valuable source of strength and an important part of who we are. I respect the beliefs my clients hold and invite my clients to identify how these beliefs can support the therapeutic process whether that’s in group therapy, individual therapy, couples counseling or premarital counseling.

As well as integrating faith and psychology in my work, I help clients navigate many aspects of their identity, purpose, and their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. By making space for my client’s questions and doubts, I help them overcome feelings of hopelessness, low mood and self doubt. I provide a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their questions about who they are and what they believe about the world without judgment.

Much of my work to date has also been supporting clients in the exploration of self-image, low self-esteem and body image issues. In alignment with this, I have also been trained to provide counseling to clients who struggle with eating disorders and restrictive eating patterns. The process of recovery involves addressing the emotional, mental, physical, and medical aspects of these diagnoses. I value collaborating with the other members on a client’s care team (e.g. primary care physician, dietitian, etc.) and utilize a collaborative approach when supporting these clients as their clinician.
