My background

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in Christ-centered counseling for trauma, addiction, and mental health.

At SafeHaven Counseling Center, I offer a holistic, faith-based approach—integrating emotional, physical, and spiritual care. I’ve had the honor of walking with individuals, couples, families, children, and first responders through seasons of deep pain and growth.

Whether you're facing anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, or past trauma, I provide a safe, prayerful space to explore your story, deepen your faith, and rediscover hope.

My mission is to support your healing journey and help you step into the life God has prepared for you.

My approach to care

I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, families, children, and first responders.

I approach counseling with empathy, faith, and a deep respect for every person’s story. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can be honest about your emotions—whether you’re feeling grief, anger, sadness, or confusion—and know you’ll be met with understanding, not judgment.

Healing, to me, is more than addressing what’s broken; it’s about growth, restoration, and rediscovering who you were created to be.

Areas of focus

Sexual addiction and betrayal trauma, substance addiction, PTSD from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, OCD, eating disorders, sexual abuse, and spiritual concerns.

"No matter where you are in your story, there’s always hope for renewal."

I work with people who are ready to...

...break free from behavioral and substance addictions, including sexual addiction.

With compassion and understanding, I help individuals and couples work through the pain of sexual, substance, and other behavioral addictions. Together, we uncover the roots of these struggles, address feelings of betrayal, and build healthier patterns that restore connection, freedom, and hope.

...heal from trauma and post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

I offer a safe, grounding space to process painful experiences and rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and wholeness after trauma.

...find relief from anxiety and panic.

I teach practical tools to quiet the mind, calm the body, and find peace even when life feels overwhelming.

...lift the weight of depression and rediscover hope.

We’ll work to identify root causes, rekindle purpose, and nurture joy again through steady, gentle steps toward healing.

...process grief and loss with compassion and care

Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or a sense of self, I’ll walk alongside you as you grieve and move toward renewed strength.

...develop healthy coping tools for challenging times.

We’ll work together to build new habits, strengthen self-awareness, and cultivate lasting emotional stability.

Take the first step toward healing

You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Sometimes healing starts by simply saying, "I’m ready for something different". I’ll listen with care, offer guidance, and help you start moving toward healing and renewal.
