A Little More About Me..
As a counselor it is such an honor for me to come alongside people on their paths of of healing, growth and change.  It takes a lot of courage to pursue counseling in the midst of pain.  I too have sought help with various trials, the challenges of marriage and parenthood, and in my search for God through dark places of questioning and suffering.  

​The brokenness of life leaves us fragmented in our hearts, minds, bodies and relationships.  I have personally found and witnessed with my clients that all pain can be an opportunity to move towards wholeness and deeper into the abundant life Jesus offers us in him.  

My own experiences combined with my professional training have equipped and fueled my passion to help people make sense of their lives and be set free to fully live. It is essential to me to offer a safe place where you can engage your story through the powerful, challenging and transformative process of counseling. Wherever you are on your journey, I would consider it a sincere and sacred privilege to walk with you in your pursuit of healing.
