I am a licensed psychotherapist with a heart for helping Christian individuals and couples heal, reconnect, and grow into healthier, more secure relationships. I believe lasting change happens when emotional healing, personal responsibility, and faith are thoughtfully integrated.

I am licensed in Florida (LMHC), New Hampshire (LCMHC), and Washington (LMHC), and currently provide telemental health services to a limited number of clients through a HIPAA-compliant platform.

A Christ-Centered Approach to Couples Counseling

Much of my work focuses on Christian couples navigating conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, anxiety, trauma histories, and long-standing relational patterns. I help couples move beyond surface-level communication strategies and into deeper emotional attunement, secure attachment, and Christ-centered growth.

My approach honors biblical values such as humility, responsibility, truth, compassion, forgiveness, and covenant commitment, while also drawing from evidence-based neuroscience and psychotherapy. Faith is never forced or minimized. Instead, it is thoughtfully integrated in a way that supports emotional maturity, clarity, and genuine healing.

Couples often come to me feeling stuck in cycles of blame, withdrawal, reactivity, or fear. Together, we work to understand the emotional and neurological patterns driving those cycles, strengthen self-regulation, and rebuild trust and connection in practical, sustainable ways.

Clinical Experience and Background

My professional path has included a wide range of clinical and leadership experiences. I have worked in community mental health agencies in Florida, within a private Christ-centered counseling practice in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, and as the CEO of an online marketing firm. This diverse background allows me to understand both the emotional and real-world pressures individuals and families face.

I have worked extensively with:

• Christian couples experiencing marriage strain or emotional distance
• Adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief
• Children and adolescents with OCD, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders
• Oppositional and defiant youth
• Individuals recovering from loss, betrayal, and attachment wounds
• I have also facilitated therapeutic groups including cancer support, grief, anxiety, depression, and art therapy groups.

Writing, Teaching, and Guided Imagery Work

I am the author of How to Be a Caregiver for an Aging Parent with Dementia, which emphasizes dignity and quality of life during difficult seasons, and The Good Parent Workbook, focused on practical tools for preventing and addressing anxiety in children. Both are available on Amazon.

I am also the creator of  guided imagery podcasts including but not limited to one for veteran families affected by PTSD, which was positively reviewed by mental health professionals nationwide and downloaded thousands of times. 

Therapeutic Orientation

My work is grounded in attachment theory, emotional regulation, and relational responsibility. I view many struggles, including substance use and chronic emotional patterns, through an attachment-based lens.

I integrate a range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, always tailored to the individual or couple, including:

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
• Clinical Hypnosis
• Emotional Brain Training (EBT)
• Attunement, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC)
• Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT (as appropriate)
• Gestalt and Art Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy
• Safe and Sound Protocol (Polyvagal-based)
• Cohesion Therapy

I am known for being an active, engaged listener, offering both depth and practical tools. Therapy with me is compassionate, honest, and focused on real, meaningful change.

A Warm Invitation

If you are a couple feeling disconnected, overwhelmed by conflict, or unsure how to move forward together, you are not alone. Many Christian couples struggle silently, hoping things will improve while feeling uncertain about where to turn.

Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin rebuilding with honesty, compassion, and faith. Whether you are seeking healing after a rupture, support during a difficult season, or guidance in strengthening your relationship, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

If you are ready to take a thoughtful next step toward growth and reconnection, I invite you to reach out to see if working together may be a good fit.
