Trauma-Informed, Christian Counseling: Treating Emotional Abuse, Attachment Issues, Complex PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression.
Faith-Based Counseling for Teens and Adults in Weatherford, Texas.
Specialized Therapy for ADHD, OCD, and Trauma Recovery associated with Complex PTSD.
Clients develop resilience, break toxic cycles, and live authentically through therapeutic and faith informed interventions. Clients learn to reconnect with themselves and build healthy relationships and habits that lead to fruitful futures.
I serve clients across Parker County, Texas including Aledo, Brock, Santo, Mineral Wells, Stephenville, Fort Worth, and Abilene. Whether you’re seeking local counseling or online therapy in Texas, I’m here to support your healing journey.
As a Trauma-Informed, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I help clients work through issues like:
Trauma & PTSD (including emotional, sexual, and religious trauma)
Anxiety & Depression that feels overwhelming or unmanageable
Relationship Issues & Attachment Wounds from past betrayals or unhealthy patterns
Faith & Spiritual Doubts for those struggling to reconcile their beliefs with personal experiences
My approach blends compassionate counseling with tools to help you calm your nervous system, understand your emotions, and strengthen your relationships. Faith is never forced in our sessions, but for clients who want to integrate their Christian beliefs, we explore how God’s truth can support your healing journey.
I believe that all parts of ourselves deserve to feel connected and capable. We also deserve a healthy faith and supportive relationships to sustain us in our chaotic world.

I like to think of my office as a little country escape from the chaos of life. I often have windows open, essential oils flowing, and everyone is encouraged to get comfy.
