About
After experiencing secular counseling services for four years and feeling like the outcome would have been profoundly different if I had experienced Spirit-filled counseling, the Lord prompted me to go back to school to become a counselor to our ‘middle of nowhere’ community here in South Dakota. There is nothing more beautiful than walking with a client through life challenges, seeing God move in their lives, and relying on the Holy Spirit to encourage, challenge, and heal them. I have personal and clinical experience with chronic illness, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, Infertility, Trauma, OCD, generational curses, spiritual warfare, prayer ministry, and more. My daily prayer is that the Lord would bring me the clients that need what I have to offer and He has been so faithful!
