About
Thriving in a world torn apart by broken relationships, unmet expectations, and ongoing heartache can seem like a far off dream. While navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging, I believe God uses our pain to help us see ourselves, to see God, and to see others more accurately. I am passionate about helping people move from brokenness and sorrow to hope and restoration, and I believe that this journey is not meant to be an independent one. I’m here as a companion for this journey to help you to uncover your God-given identity, and embrace a healthy sense of self.
I offer Christian counseling, Spiritual Direction and grief support as an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist. I'm trained in Inner Healing Prayer and have helped post-abortive women find healing and wholeness by embracing forgiveness. I also journey with Christians who are deconstructing/reconstructing their faith
I meet with individuals who need support during seasons of transition, periods of emotional or spiritual distress, those struggling with forgiveness issues, problem solving, major life decisions, and those needing assistance navigating complicated relationships. I also offer grief support (death, divorce, conflict, loss of health, loss of faith, etc.)
