Have you ever lost a loved one? Or a job?  

Maybe you’ve experienced church hurt, a failed pregnancy, or marital struggles! Sometimes in life we don’t know where to turn or how to overcome this overwhelming feeling of defeat or depression.

We juggle kids, and spouses, and careers, while attempting to find ourselves on this journey called life.

Then this big wave comes crashing over us and we fight so hard, sometimes against the current. Life can be hard and seem so unfair at times.

Many issues stem from trauma…

or unhealthy attachment styles in relationships, learned at a young age. We turn to various addictions trying to cope or fill this empty void inside. I’ve been there and understand the sadness and fear you feel. Life had not prepared me to openly share my emotions. I was taught to put on a smile and shut others out, being told – “Don’t cry, it just gets your cheeks wet.” I became a pro at hiding and eventually it caught up to me.

I was reluctant to go to counseling the first time…

because I couldn’t hide unnoticed in the background. Eventually, it became a place of safety and comfort – although at times challenging because growth isn’t always easy, but worth it in the end.

I shared my story and explored my life while someone walked alongside me, gently nudging, and cheering me on while giving me a harder push when needed. A new perspective from an outsider was life changing!

In October 2018, I felt God leading me towards mental health counseling.

My passion continued growing, and in July 2020, He placed it on my heart again.

Although I completed my degree in December 2022, I consider myself “seasoned” in life. After earning my degree in music education, I taught elementary students for five years. I then spent sixteen years in the banking industry, further expanding my life experiences.

God truly uses our trials for His good,

and my willingness to overcome obstacles has led me here. I love helping people learn how to live mentally healthy!

I would love to explore your story with you! Together we can find the scattered broken pieces of your heart and begin piecing them back together – wet cheeks are always welcome, judgement is not!
