“With God, all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
OuR mission
To administer healing to the broken-hearted of those needing God’s compassionate touch of grace and mercy in their greatest time of need. To show God’s heart, empathy, compassion and kindness to the patients He entrusts me to journey along with in Biblical counseling.
Real faith doesn’t deny the existence of a problem, it just denies the problem a place of influence.
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LCPC
It is my pleasure to be able to offer in-person or video counseling for convenience and access to Christian Counseling. I am interested in working with those who have broken hearts, anyone affected by divorce, relationships, boundary issues, depression, anxiety, family system dynamics, co-dependency, past childhood abuse, domestic violence, mother/father wounding, family dysfunction and those seeking spiritual growth. I enjoy identifying underlying causes of what keeps us stuck. Uncovering why we do the things we do can help assist in the goal of freedom. It is my personal view that we look at the roots not the symptoms to make a difference.
You will grow in Emotional Intelligence.
