About

My personal testimony is rooted in God’s grace and unwavering presence through every season of life—including over 30 years of military service, leadership, and ministry. I’ve seen firsthand how God can heal the deepest wounds and restore hope, even when circumstances seem impossible.

A scripture that continually guides my work is Isaiah 61:1:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted…”
This verse reminds me that counseling is not just a profession—it’s a divine calling to be a vessel of God’s love, truth, and healing.

I also lean on Romans 12:2, which calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. In my sessions, I aim to create a safe and compassionate space where clients can align their thoughts with truth, rediscover their identity in Christ, and move toward wholeness—spirit, soul, and body.

I incorporate Biblical principles by integrating prayer, scripture reflection, and Spirit-led insight—always meeting clients where they are. Whether you’re facing emotional, relational, or spiritual struggles, I believe healing happens when we invite God into the process.
