About

Are you hurting? Struggling with relationships? Grieving a loss? Do you feel alone, inadequate, lost? Are you reeling from past trauma or abuse? Are you angry and wondering where God is in all of this? Life can be crushing and sometimes we need someone to walk with us. You were not meant to carry these burdens by yourself. Choosing to confront these experiences and emotions through counseling is a courageous step. Haven Christian Counseling can help provide the connection, growth, and healing you long for. I will walk alongside you in the journey to restore what has been broken and help bind the wounds that need to be healed. Through professional and personal life experiences, I resonate with being a "Wounded Healer." It is a privilege to know and hold another's pain with them, and to bring light and truth to wounds. I offer Christ-centered, trauma-informed care to help clients find "beauty from ashes," freedom from fear and shame, and hope and restoration from their past. Haven seeks to be a place of refuge, safety, and peace, for those who are hurting, weary, broken, and grieving. In therapy, the compassionate care you receive will help you feel safe, valued, and known. I know when you are struggling, reaching out can feel daunting. It would be an honor to have the opportunity to walk with you on your healing journey. Specialties: I provide Christ-centered, trauma-informed care to help individuals navigate through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life transition and relational issues. Haven is a place where clinical counseling practices are utilized with reliance upon the Holy Spirit and God is present as we process your story with safety, care, and grace. Credentials & Experience: EMDR (Level 1 and 2 Trained)
