I am a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, I hold a MA in Ministry of Christian Counseling and a BS in Communications. My areas of focus include marriage & family relationships, codependency, divorce recovery, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery and healing from traumatic events.

My passion is to help counselees understand their true identity in Christ, including learning about their God-given temperament.  I long to see believers leave shame behind and walk in the freedom and love of the Lord!  I lead my clients with compassion, patience, & the Word of God. As a former pastor’s wife, I have a special place in my heart for pastors & their families. I also have a deep understanding of the impact of disabilities  on individuals & their loved ones. I am a certified Prepare/Enrich Counselor & I also teach counselees how to develop healthy relational attachment styles.

In my free time, I enjoying reading on my porch while having a cup of coffee and we also enjoy traveling.

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.

Lamentations 3:22-24 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,  for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
    therefore I will wait for him.”
