in 2014 my life changed. The losses from my childhood and unhealthy patterns I developed to cope with grief caught up with me. I felt hopeless, confused, and overwhelmed. Even when I was with other people, I felt alone. I remember feeling stuck and unsure of what to do, I didn’t know how to reach out for help. Thanks to supportive counselors and mentors, I learned radical acceptance and discovered a new identity within myself. I learned more effective ways to cope and how to find a home in my own heart. I reconnected with Jesus and found truth, grace, and a more complete theology of God. I understand my clients’ feelings of loneliness, disconnection, and despair. I create a safe space for them and hold a light in the darkness when they feel lost. I want them to connect with their true selves and engage authentically with the world.

Through the messy journey, I found my calling. 

I love dogs, playing the piano, music, mystery movies, the ocean, cooking, organizing, and teaching. When I am not working on a business project, I am usually watching NCAA football and softball, or spending time with family and friends.
