LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist)
About
I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, starting first as a Registered Nurse and then transitioning into Counseling. My Christian faith, love for God, the Bible and Biblical truth is the foundation of my practice. I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. As a Christian Counselor, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. My background as a Registered Nurse shapes my understanding of the impact of physical illness on mental health and wellbeing, and I maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing.
If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, difficulty in relationships, medical issues or other concerns, and are looking for counseling in alignment with your Christian faith, I would be honored to speak with you.
One of my favorite verses in therapy is Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” I believe this verse speaks to the process through which, God lovingly brings us into alignment with his purpose for our lives. Whether you’re facing a difficult season or simply longing to grow, it would be my privilege to walk alongside you as God brings healing, hope, and renewed purpose to your life. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.
