If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply longing for something more in your relationships or personal life, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.
As Clinical Christian Counselors, We walk alongside individuals and couples who are ready for healing, clarity, and change. Whether you’re facing the pain of broken trust, trauma from your past, or patterns that just won’t budge, We offer a safe, grace-filled space to process, heal, and grow.
Together, we’ll uncover the root issues, equip you with tools that bring peace and stability, and invite God into the process of restoring what feels lost or broken. With over 40 years of marriage, a strong medical background, and a heart rooted in biblical truth, my husband and I offer not just counsel—but hope.
