Healing Trauma and Finding Hope
You’ve taken care of everyone else—now it’s time to take care of yourself
About Psychotherapy With Hope
Experience Matters
With over 30 years of experience as a Psychotherapist, I’ve journeyed alongside individuals, couples, families, and professionals through some of life’s most difficult and defining moments.
I specialize in trauma—whether it stems from sexual abuse, combat, relational wounds, or chronic stress. My approach is trauma-informed, straightforward, and deeply respectful of each person’s story. I focus on helping clients heal deep inner child wounds by providing a safe, compassionate space to explore their past and move toward lasting healing.
Clients often say they value my ability to be both compassionate and honest—supportive, yet direct.
For those who desire it, I also offer a faith-based perspective, integrating Christian principles into the therapeutic process. I honor each client's beliefs and values in the work we do together.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, codependency, or rebuilding trust after betrayal, this is a space where you can be vulnerable, even if it’s really difficult.
You’ve held space for others—now it’s time to hold space for yourself.
Let’s work together to help you heal, grow, and move forward—with hope, faith, and clarity.
Psychotherapy With Hope - Therapy
Individual Therapy
These one-on-one sessions are powerful and healing.
It is a safe place to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions are virtual which makes it very convenient and flexible for your schedule.
Every technique I utilize transfers to the virtual experience including inner child work, EMDR, and EFT.
Couples Therapy
Work together with your partner to improve communication, resolve conflicts and strengthen your relationship.
Depending on your situation, we may incorporate some individual work alongside the couple’s sessions to gently explore the roots of behaviors and thought patterns that may stem from your family of origin.
Family Therapy
Build stronger family relationships, improve communication, and work through difficult times as a team. I've worked with adult children and their parents, as well as adult siblings. If you're motivated to heal, and so are your family members, I can help.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety can show up in many forms—and often, its root is fear. Sometimes it’s a trauma response. Sometimes it’s a learned coping strategy. Whatever the source, I can help you trace it back and get to the root. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, so you can move toward healing.
Learn practical tools to manage anxiety, improve your quality of life, and experience greater peace.
From a clinical lens, I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based strategies, and psychoeducation to address the underlying causes of anxiety. Therapy is tailored to your needs—whether the focus is on symptom management, emotional regulation, trauma processing, or long-term resilience. My goal is to support you in understanding your anxiety, not just treating the symptoms, so you can live with more clarity, confidence, and calm.
Depression Therapy
You may feel numb, hopeless, irritable, or simply worn out by life. Depression can make even the smallest tasks feel overwhelming. It’s more than a bad day—it can cloud your thoughts, weigh down your body, and isolate you from the people and things you love.
But you don’t have to go through it alone.
Through a supportive, evidence-based, and compassion-driven approach, I help you explore the root of your depression—whether it's tied to past trauma, current stressors, or something that feels unexplainable. Together, we’ll uncover strategies to relieve the weight, reconnect with meaning, and begin moving toward peace and purpose.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma isn't always loud or obvious. Sometimes it’s the silent weight you carry, the hypervigilance that never turns off, or the way you disconnect just to get through the day. Whether it stems from abuse, loss, neglect, or life events that overwhelmed your capacity to cope, trauma can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.
But healing is possible.
In therapy, we’ll create a space that feels safe enough to explore the pain, without rushing or retraumatizing. Using trauma-informed approaches like EMDR, somatic awareness, and parts work, I’ll help you gently reconnect with the parts of you that survived—and support you as you rebuild from a place of strength, not survival.
Work through the effects of trauma and learn how to manage symptoms of PTSD.
