Glad Tidings Therapy
Trauma Therapy & EMDR for Adults Seeking Lasting Change
Compassionate, evidence-based counseling for trauma, anxiety, grief, and life transitions—with optional faith integration.
Online therapy (telehealth) is available for clients throughout Georgia
Healing requires both compassion and courage. Therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely understood—not judged—and also encouraged to grow. Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating anxiety, wrestling with life's challenges, or seeking to integrate your faith into the therapeutic process, our work together is about more than feeling better in the moment. It's about becoming more grounded, finding lasting healing, and building the strength to live differently.
If you've been carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or painful patterns for years, you may already understand why you struggle. Insight is important—but insight alone doesn't create change. Therapy should help you move forward.
I offer a compassionate, honest approach that balances acceptance with accountability. You'll find a space where you can be fully known without judgment, while also being challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, process the experiences that continue to affect your life, and build practical skills that help you move toward lasting change.
Areas of Focus
Trauma (PTSD, complex trauma, or early developmental trauma)
Veterans/Military
Anxiety and stress
Depression
ADHD
Grief and loss
Life transitions
Faith and spirituality concerns
Attachment wounds and relational patterns
Identity, purpose, and meaning
Many of the challenges we face are connected to deeper patterns shaped by our experiences, relationships, and the ways we have learned to navigate the world. In therapy, we will work to understand those patterns—not only to ease symptoms, but to heal what has shaped you and move toward greater clarity, connection, purpose, and a deeper sense of self: who you are and who you want to become.

About Glad Tidings
Glad Tidings is an older English translation of the Greek word euangelion, a term for news that changed the conditions of life. It is a declaration of hope: that change is possible.
Glad Tidings Therapy was born from my own struggle to find a therapist who was both clinically trained and comfortable integrating faith into the counseling process. I know the vital role faith plays in how people make meaning, endure hardship, and pursue change. I am trained in faith integration and am happy to incorporate faith into therapy when it is wanted, while ultimately respecting each client's preferences and goals. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
About Me
I believe every person has a unique story worth understanding. The experiences we have, the relationships we build, and the ways we learn to navigate the world shape how we see ourselves and others. While those experiences influence us, they do not have to define us.
Living in different parts of the country has given me a deep appreciation for the diverse communities and cultures that shape people's lives. It has also shown me how much we share. Beneath our different backgrounds, many of the struggles we face—grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, questions of identity, and the search for purpose—are part of the human experience.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Family and Consumer Science from Central Washington University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I am EMDR Certified through EMDRIA and trained in faith integration through Liberty University. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs.
What draws me to this work is a genuine curiosity about people and a deep respect for their capacity to grow. I find it meaningful to help clients make sense of their experiences, recognize the patterns that influence their lives, and discover new ways of relating to themselves and others. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that is compassionate, thoughtful, and honest—one where clients feel both supported and gently challenged as they move toward meaningful, lasting change.
