I am a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I hold a MA in Ministry of Christian Counseling and a BS in Communications. I was an associate pastor’s wife for over 5 years. I have led College and Career, Women, and Couples Ministries and was in television and broadcast news for 14 years. My husband Brad and I have been happily married for 35 years with two children, now adults and married, who continue to walk with the Lord in their marriages and careers.
My passion is helping clients have peaceful, strong, connected family relationships and encouraging them in their true identity in Christ. I long to see believers leave shame behind and walk in the freedom and love of the Lord! I have a special place in my heart for pastor’s families, and families living with disabilities.
I lead my clients with compassion, patience, the Word of God, and my training in Temperament Counseling, Christ-Centered Mindfulness, Family Dynamics, and The Jesus Protocol!
My favorite hobbies are traveling, crossword puzzles, furthering my education, and sitting to read with a good cup of coffee and my beloved Golden Retriever Maverick.
I offer a free 15-30 minute initial phone consultation and I am available for in-person and online appointments Monday through Saturday, days and evenings.
