If you are reading this, you have probably gotten to the point where you are entertaining the idea of getting help, and I want to encourage you that no matter what doubts may be filling your head, it’s worth it. That first step of asking for help is often the hardest. It was for me, and looking back, I’m so glad I did. I’m passionate about people’s stories, and I would be honored to be a part of yours as you pursue hope and healing in your own life, and in the lives of those close to you. 

Before becoming a counselor, I worked at the University of Delaware teaching and tutoring international students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. My counseling career began after I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary in 2019. After that, I was hired on at CrossRoads where I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have significant cross-cultural experience and enjoy working with missionaries new to the field as well as those who have been serving for some time. Having grown up as a missionary kid myself, I can appreciate the complex dynamics that come up while working in cross-cultural settings.

One of the things I absolutely love about being a counselor is that I get the chance to meet and work with so many different kinds of people. I’m also a nerd, and I love to learn and can geek out on too many topics to list. I have a special place in my heart for skeptics, cynics, those hurt by the church and those going through existential crises. I specialize in treating and managing personality disorders (i.e., Narcissism, Borderline, OCPD, Avoidant, Histrionic, Schizotypal… etc.). My hope for all my clients, regardless of what problems brought them into my office, is that they leave with a better sense of who they are, what they want and where they want to go. I look forward to meeting you.
