Great to meet you!

It's a Blessing to Meet You!

I have a passion for Christian counseling during cancer or grief. I will walk alongside you to help you focus on Christ, experience peace, and build resilience so you can weather this storm. As a Christian counselor, I use Biblical principles, scriptures, and evidence-based therapy interventions to help reduce anxiety & depression symptoms, shift you into a hope-filled mindset, and add coping skills to your tool box. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.

My approach to therapy

About My Approach to Therapy

I offer a faith-based, safe place for my clients to share their burdens and not have to carry them alone. I am warm, open, authentic, and not afraid to talk about the hardest issues you're dealing with. "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2.

I use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, somatic based interventions, and teach nervous system regulation skills to help you live a values-driven life in this present moment.

When cancer or grief are front and center, it can be so hard to focus on the here and now. This is a Biblical concept woven throughout scripture. "Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough worries of its own." Matthew 6:34.

Everything I say and do is rooted in our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! You can expect to be redirected to God's Word for inspiration, gentle correction, and guidance for all of life's challenges you may be facing.

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12.

If you are ready to work hard, make meaningful changes, and experience a more hope-filled life, we will work well together! And God will be with us every step of the way.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you." Isaiah 43:2

What you can expect from me

What to Expect from Our First Session

You can expect to feel a little nervous as we're getting to know one another, but you will walk away from session feeling heard, seen, and cared for. I want to learn all about you! Most clients say they feel better after talking to me & appreciate my welcoming nature.
