About me

Are you carrying pain that feels too heavy to unpack alone? I help individuals and couples gently transform trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship struggles — by stirring in 1 ingredient at a time for transformational healing, I am the 'LemonAID maker"! Those that choose to grow with me want real healing, not just coping. They want a safe, faith-grounded space where what’s bitter can be stirred into something sweeter, stronger, and more hopeful.

Through 5 years of treatment with various populations I've learned true change doesn’t happen overnight — it happens when you feel safe enough to name your truth, honor your story, and add the right ingredients for real, lasting relief. Whether you feel stuck in old patterns, drowning in loss, or disconnected in your relationship, you don’t have to face it alone. I have the experience, knowledge, skills and abilities to guide you through and see you to the other side!

Together we’ll squeeze out what hurts, stir in compassion, courage, and practical tools, and pour a new story you can live in — fully
