Faith-Based Therapy for High-Functioning Christian Women Who Are Tired of Being the Strong One.

You love God deeply.

You show up in every way.

You carry responsibility well.

But somewhere along the way, service started to feel like an obligation, and purpose felt purposeless.

I specialize in working with high-functioning Christian women who are used to being dependable — in their families, careers, churches, and communities.

Life is meant to be lived — presently, intentionally, authentically, and freely.

Many of my clients:

Feel anxious but call it “just being busy” (e.g., you never stop planning, preparing, providing, and it’s not just because things have to get done — there’s a subtle, growing worry of what will happen if you don’t keep going)
Struggle to rest without guilt or mental discomfort (e.g., you feel like your time could be spent doing something else, or notice you feel more anxious, your thoughts race more).
Overextend themselves in the name of service and dependability (e.g., you’re capable of doing it, but you don’t have the capacity to do it — but you do it anyway).
Confuse humility with self-neglect or dismissing their needs (e.g., “they need this more than me”)
Love God deeply but feel spiritually dry or exhausted (e.g., that abundant life you were promised isn’t looking too abundant, and the peace is only found in the 5 seconds of silence you get on a typical day).

Therapy Focused on Alignment, Not Just Coping

As a faith-based therapist, I integrate evidence-based mental health care with biblical truth in a way that is grounded, compassionate, and clinically sound.

This means:

Therapy is rooted in psychological expertise
Scripture is NEVER forced or weaponized
Faith is integrated with consent and relevance.
Mental illness is NEVER minimized with “just pray about it.”
We explore church hurt and spiritual bypassing honestly.
We build boundaries as stewardship, not selfishness.

Renewal of the mind is both psychological AND biblical work, so when working with me, we will address thoughts, behaviors, nervous system responses, and self-perception — while rooting lasting change in truth that aligns with who God created you to be and the life Jesus died for you to live.

I provide affirming care and welcome clients across diverse identities and experiences. My faith informs my posture of love, dignity, and respect toward every person I serve.

This work is not about fixing you — it’s about helping you align with what’s valuable to you.

Hey you!

As someone who is high-functioning, I know how difficult it can be to trust the stillness and also yearn for rest that sustains me. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help or admit that things are heavy — the way that shame lurks and whispers “you’re being burdensome”. I know how stressful it can be to want, with your whole heart, to do everything right, but still miss the mark.

I also know that it is possible to:

support/serve others without feeling drained.
be ambitious without overwhelm or being on autopilot.
breathe without fear everything will crumble.
not have to know what’s next or how to solve every problem.
have an identity that isn’t defined by what I do or how well I do it.
live a life where you’re present — not carrying the weight of the past or bracing in preparation for the future.
exist as your whole self — accomplishments, strengths, flaws, emotions, and all — and still be enough.

I know what it’s like to navigate this world alone, and I know that it’s always better when you don’t have to carry it all alone. Learn more about how I can best lighten your load.
