My Story
I founded Shepherd's Journey out of a deep belief that every person deserves support that honors their whole self — their mind, their story, and their faith.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and school counselor, I've been walking alongside students and families navigating anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and the pressure-filled college admissions process.
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether you're working through a difficult season or preparing for the next chapter, I'm here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My Approach
Whole-Person Care
I believe healing and growth happen when we address the mind, heart, and spirit together — not in isolation.
Culturally Sensitive
I honor the unique cultural backgrounds, family systems, and lived experiences each client brings to the room.
Faith-Informed
For clients who value faith, I integrate spiritual perspective as a source of strength and meaning — never as a barrier.
