"Mother of the Healed"
God has chosen me to help liberate others from their past, wounds, and trauma and to restore them to health and wholeness: spirit, soul, and body. I am in awe that God has entrusted me with the hearts of His people.
I, therefore, use the Holy Bible as the foundation that guides and instructs me to optimally serve and support you. My aim is to bridge the gap between professional counseling, inner healing, and pastoral care.
​
I am affectionately known as "Mother of the Healed" because of my peaceful, nurturing, mother-like quality that makes others feel safe enough to take their mask off and reveal their broken pieces. When these broken pieces are revealed they become clay in the Potter's hand.
​
It is an honor to hear people's stories. My heart’s desire is for each of you to know God intimately, know your value in Christ, find your voice, and live out rich purpose-filled lives.

Beyond Counseling
​
Beyond counseling, I am a dedicated wife with 23 plus years experience and a mother of many, including two college aged young adults that I homeschooled, three adult stepsons, and several adult foster sons. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching good movies, reading, organizing, learning about Jesus, serving in my local church, and laughing with family and friends.
​
Just like you, I have my own heart journey & have learned many lessons along the way, including:
Dance with God and allow Him to lead EVERYTHING.
​
Allow God to grow and mature you through every trial
Happiness and success in life are a by-product of intimacy with God.
​
Practice being aware of God’s presence; He calls you home.
​
Learn to strengthen yourself in the Lord in the midst of emotional pain.
​
Gratitude allows you to see clearly; without it, you wear filtered lens.
Laugh a lot and laugh at yourself.
​
You may be wrong...Be humble
Pursue and protect your peace.
Offense wounds your soul. Forgive quickly.
Keep growing; keep maturing.
