About me
I am a deeply-lived Christ-Center social worker who is dedicated to helping Christian women shamelessly heal from the pain of sexual assault, depression, and the loss of an unborn child. I bring a spiritual and intellectual approach as an optimistic therapist who lives in gratitude and positivity. With deep empathy and pragmatism, I bring the hope of Christ and clinical rigor to work collaboratively with Christian women to be the best version of themself.
Are you angry with God? Are you blaming God for what has happened to you? Do you feel isolated from God? I offer a Christ-Centered approach to therapy that encourages women to rediscover a newfound sense of hope, joy, and peace of mind. We will work collaboratively with Christ in order to strengthen your relationship with God, family, friends, and loved ones.
I am a Christian woman who has personally experienced a devastating miscarriage and a stillbirth, survived sexual assault, and struggled with my self-esteem. From these lived experiences, I offer tenderness to collaboratively hold your hand in a place that can feel lonely and scary, to offer hope.
I see you, I hear you, and I am here for you. I have lived the indescribable pain of losing an unborn child that only another mother with a similar loss can comprehend, endured the need to move on with your life after being sexually violated, and overcome the feeling of never being good enough, regardless of how hard you try. Let’s shamelessly heal together!
