About

Are you looking for a place where you can feel safe, valued, empowered and encouraged in your personal circumstances? or maybe you are looking for ways to restore and enrich personal relationships.

Life is marked by constant change which can be difficult to navigate. While we cannot stop change, we can build the skills and mindset to handle it more effectively. I am Nardria and I am dedicated to helping children, teens and adults find peace amidst their struggles. I provide a safe nonjudgemental client centered space where you are heard, supported, prayed for and provided with fresh perspectives. I draw from multiple evidence-based methods with perspectives grounded in biblical teaching.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. My background includes working intensively with families in the child welfare system and with children and adults affected by Domestic Violence. I have also worked in family support for women and families dealing with medical illnesses. I am a Homeschool Preferred Provider catering to the needs of families in Florida. I offer Walk and Talk sessions in select Manatee County Parks for individuals looking for another therapeutic approach to healing.

God designed us as physical, emotional, social and spiritual beings all aspects interact to make us uniquely us. We navigate joyful and challenging seasons differently. Christian maturity isn’t found in the absence of struggles but how we respond when they occur. Psalm 55:22 says “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Break free from feelings of overwhelm, unhealthy thought patterns and internal struggles that leave you drained and disconnected. We can find freedom from guilt, lust, fear, abandonment, loneliness, aimlessness, and emptiness: We can abide in truth one step at a time. Sometimes we pray but it’s difficult to surrender to God. Let’s be honest it is difficult to give praise when we are hurting or struggling. Let me walk alongside you as we find the underlying patterns and experiences and make way for healing and trusting God in your season of brokenness.

 

My absolute favorite scripture reading is romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  You are loved; you are worthy let me guide you in finding hope and healing in the saving love of Christ.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4
