“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep” - Romans 12:15

As a counselor, I have the privilege and honor to see into the vulnerable spaces in people’s lives. Entering into this sacred space allows me to walk alongside my clients as a witness to the work that God is doing. God desires for us to know Him, be known by Him, and be known by others. God is the only One that provides true healing, but He may work through human relationships to accomplish His will. I believe God’s design for us is to be integrated in body, mind, and soul (Luke 10:27), so I am passionate about incorporating all aspects of the self to pursue wholeness and healing. I have personally experienced the astounding grace and love of God, and now I get to be God’s hands and feet, building His kingdom, all for His glory.
