Who We Are

---

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a faith-oriented calling to help individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. After more than 25 successful years in corporate sales and marketing at Microsoft, Accenture, Colgate-Palmolive, and IBM, I came to realize that helping people solve business challenges wasn’t enough — I felt called to help people work through their life challenges!

For nearly a decade, I’ve helped individuals and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress, whether it shows up personally or within a relationship. My corporate background also gives me insight into the pressures high achievers face, and I enjoy supporting clients managing demanding careers.

I believe lasting change starts with mindset, so that’s often central to our work. Since no two people experience difficulty the same way, I collaborate closely with you to build an approach that fits your story, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based and emotionally-focused therapy, and trauma-informed treatments. If you like, I’ll also integrate Christian faith as a source of healing and growth into our work together.

Driven by a mission to meet you where you are, and a firm belief that you can rise above mere survival, I cofounded Calm Waters Counseling, a faith-oriented private practice. Through evidence-based, compassionate care, I work closely with you to address your unique mental health and relationship challenges, offering hope and guidance as you move toward a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s most challenging seasons. My clinical journey began in community mental health, followed by work with adolescents in residential treatment. I later served as the director of a church-based counseling center, where I helped grow the team to 40 counselors. Eventually, I co-founded Calm Waters Counseling, continuing my commitment to compassionate care.

Throughout my career, trauma has been a central focus. I bring a broad and deep range of experience to support clients facing trauma, marital and parenting challenges, psychosis, depression, anxiety, grief, and more. For those who desire it, I offer the integration of Christian faith into the counseling process—supporting healing and transformation through a spiritual lens. At the same time, I fully respect and honor each person’s unique spiritual journey, and faith need not be a part of treatment unless it’s meaningful to you.

I work with adults, teens, children, couples, and families—meeting you where you are and walking alongside you to address mental health concerns and life transitions with empathy, insight, and hope.
