I have experienced helping people navigate the difficulties of life. I have over fifteen years of experience working with issues such as trauma, childhood abuse recovery, depression, postpartum depression, anxiety, domestic violence, women’s issues, life transitions and self-esteem issues. My compassionate nonjudgmental approach is psychologically and biblically based. If you are not a Christian, no worries I will not impose my views on you.
