Life’s trials have shaped my passion for helping others. Orphaned by 13 after losing my mother to HIV and my stepfather to murder, my faith in Christ guided me through these hardships. For 25 years, I've studied relationships, from a spiritual lens, and as a Christian marriage counselor, I focus on helping couples improve communication, from a Gospel-centered focus. Using evidence-based research and faith-based principles, I address mental health issues and imperfections. I empower individuals and couples to restore and enrich their relationships, navigate challenges, and achieve their God-given potential.

Life can bring waves of transition; many are excellent, and others are more complex. I enjoy partnering with older adults and their families to provide support and explore ways to improve the quality of life for all. Typical areas of exploration may include retirement, end of life, grief, loss of independence, caregiver stress, role reversal/confusion, depression, isolation, anxiety, and life inventory. I offer a holistic and client-centered approach embracing empowerment, narratives, and strengths to rebalance joy and fulfillment as life transitions.
