My Journey of Faith & Healing
 

Struggling through my teens and 20s, I searched for meaning and peace in all the wrong places, always feeling like something was broken inside me.

It wasn’t until I found God that I truly began to heal. Through prayer, faith, and a heart dedicated to service, I built a deep relationship with Him—and that relationship transformed every aspect of my life.
 

My faith became the foundation for restoring my marriage, strengthening my bond with my children, and deepening my connection with my community. Therapy played a vital role in that journey, helping me process past wounds and protect the most precious gift God has given me—my family.

Now, as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Christian Coach, I walk alongside others on their own paths to healing, helping them integrate faith, prayer, and practical therapeutic tools to restore relationships and build a life centered on God’s love.
 

"Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." – Ecclesiastes 4:12
 

This verse beautifully illustrates the strength of a marriage rooted in Christ. When a husband and wife are united with Him at the center, their bond becomes unbreakable.

How Christian Counseling Can Transform Your Relationship
 

Marriage is one of the most sacred covenants we enter into, yet even the strongest couples face seasons of difficulty. Whether you are struggling with communication issues, trust and betrayal, emotional disconnection, or navigating a major life transition, faith-based therapy can offer a path forward.
 

As a Christian counselor, I integrate biblical principles with evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help couples:
 

  • Rebuild Trust & Heal from Betrayal – Whether recovering from infidelity or struggling with past wounds, we will work together to restore honesty and rebuild your foundation.
     

  • Improve Communication – Learning to listen with grace and speak with love, using biblical wisdom to resolve conflicts.
     

  • Strengthen Emotional & Spiritual Intimacy – Creating deeper connections by inviting God into your relationship and daily life.
     

  • Navigate Life Transitions Together – Whether you're blending families, raising children, or facing a new chapter, we’ll explore faith-driven strategies to stay united.
     

  • Find Common Ground in Faith Differences – When partners are at different places in their spiritual journey, I help them build a shared vision for their marriage that honors their beliefs and values.

Marriage is a Journey—God is Your Guide
 

When I fell in love with my husband, I admired his brilliant mind, his unique perspective on the world, and his quiet depth of emotion.

But over time, our differences became difficult to navigate. I longed for deep conversations while he processed things internally. When I needed reassurance, he needed space. We loved each other, but we struggled to understand one another.
 

For a long time, I felt like we were speaking different languages. I didn’t know how to reach him, and I worried that our love was slipping away. It wasn’t until we sought faith-based counseling that I realized God had already provided the answers:
 

  • His silence wasn’t rejection—it was his way of processing.
     

  • My longing for connection wasn’t neediness—it was a reflection of God’s design for partnership.
     

  • With the right tools and God’s guidance, we could learn to bridge the gap.
     

Through Christian counseling, we rebuilt our marriage by aligning our relationship with His plan. Now, I help other couples do the same—turning to God’s word, understanding each other’s needs, and creating marriages that reflect Christ’s love.

Your relationship is meant to be a reflection of God’s love—a partnership built on grace, commitment, and faith. If you are struggling, you don’t have to walk this path alone.
