Great to meet you!

For the past four years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside clients as they navigate a wide range of life challenges. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Michigan and a Master's in Counseling from Central Michigan University. My passion lies in working with both teens and adults, particularly in the areas of family dynamics, healing relationships, and strengthening family bonds.

At the heart of my counseling approach is the belief in the power of faith. I help clients focus on the importance of living a Christ-centered life to achieve emotional and spiritual balance. Together, we work to build a strong biblical foundation that allows them to experience the fruits of the Spirit and walk in the purpose God has for them.

My approach to therapy

As a Christian counselor, I view each person as uniquely created by God with purpose, value, and the capacity for growth. I help clients identify life challenges through a lens of faith, prayer, and biblical truth, working with them to develop action plans rooted in God’s Word and implement Christ-centered solutions.

My approach integrates sound counseling practices with biblical principles, always recognizing that true healing and wisdom come from the Lord. I believe that through the power of the Holy Spirit, individuals have the strength and freedom to make godly choices and take responsibility for their lives. Rather than offering direct answers, I serve as a vessel—supporting clients in seeking God's guidance as they navigate their decisions and move toward spiritual and emotional restoration. I also provide faith-based resources and encouragement to help equip clients as they walk through life’s challenges with hope and trust in God’s plan.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave each session feeling supported, encouraged, and equipped with both practical tools and biblical wisdom to face life’s challenges. Through a Christ-centered approach, we’ll explore the root of personal and relational struggles, seek God’s truth for their situation, and develop faith-driven action steps toward healing and growth.

My prayer is that clients not only experience emotional and mental clarity but also grow deeper in their relationship with God. They will be reminded of their God-given identity, learn to take responsibility for their choices through a biblical lens, and discover how to apply Scripture in daily life. Ultimately, clients can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where they are guided in faith, hope, and truth as they pursue lasting transformation and spiritual wholeness.
