My Journey and Approach
I’ve always been curious about how our experiences and relationships shape who we are. Through motherhood, personal challenges, and growth, I’ve learned that even our deepest struggles can become pathways to healing, freedom, and lasting change.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, infidelity, addiction, family conflict, anxiety, depression, attachment struggles, eating disorders, sexual abuse, human trafficking, women’s issues, and spiritual wounds. I’m especially passionate about supporting pastors and ministry families who carry unique pressures and unseen burdens.
Using experiential therapies and evidence-based interventions, I help clients understand their patterns, process their experiences, and move toward meaningful change. When desired, I integrate Christian faith and biblical truth to support healing and renewed hope.
At 5 Smooth Stones Christian Counseling, my desire is to provide a compassionate, Christ-centered space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. You don’t have to face your giants alone. Whether you’re gathering your first stone or simply longing for a place to breathe, you are welcome here. I invite you to take the first step toward hope, healing, and becoming who God created you to be.
