We currently have 3 counselors in Silverdale
I offer professional Christian counseling for teens and adult individuals dealing with a variety of struggles including anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, anger, grief, and more. With empathy and genuine curiosity, I will listen to your story without judgment. I offer a safe, welcoming space where you can process your trials honestly. As your counselor, I will come alongside you as we work through difficult issues together. Using actionable processes and a goal-oriented treatment plan, we will rely on a variety of proven therapeutic techniques to help you move closer to the person God has created you to be.
We were created for belonging, and each one of us has an innate desire to connect and feel seen. My experience as a therapist allows me to connect with a variety of people from all walks of life, including children, teenagers, athletes, couples, and families. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or other concerns, I would be honored to walk alongside you to help you find healing, peace, and strength in God. John 8:32 says “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” It is my firm belief that God will always fulfill His promises.
Our path is often marred by the many distractions that keep us from finding our true identity and God’s purpose for our lives. My passion is to facilitate clarity and provide support by helping you find meaning in the midst of your suffering and increasing the awareness and potential for choice. Our past does not define us; it is what we do with our circumstances that molds our character. We always have a choice in how we respond to life. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E. Frankl
Helping couples heal their relationships by first better understanding themselves is what I do as a Christian counselor. I offer you support and insight for overcoming obstacles that stand in the way of forming lasting, fulfilling relationships with others and God. Whether you’re looking for marriage or premarital counseling, together we will strive to learn more about yourself, how you affect others, and how they affect you. With this knowledge, you can learn how to make healthy choices that will help you grow in all the relationships in your life.
As a Christian counselor, I am here to support you through whatever challenges you are facing and to help you move forward in your life, with God’s guidance. So often in life, we can feel alone in what we’re going through. We may feel separated from those close to us and even separated from Jesus. It can be powerful to sit with another person, build a strong, therapeutic relationship, and know that you are heard, seen, and not alone. I will offer you a safe space, free of judgment, where we can work toward your unique goals so you can live freely as a beloved child of God.
Therapy offers a unique opportunity for you to engage with your story, to explore with curiosity and kindness, to be seen and heard, and to heal and grow. I approach our work together by inviting a trustworthy, professional collaboration to explore your relationship with yourself, with others, and with the stories that have shaped who you are today. We were created to flourish in our relationships but so often relational experiences feel disconnected, confusing, and messy. With God’s help through the context of Christian counseling, you can experience wholeness, recovery, and lasting hope.
In my sessions, I like to take a collaborative approach. With empathy and encouragement, I will guide and support you as you learn how to use your skills and develop increased motivation to reduce the mental health symptoms you are experiencing. One of my goals is to empower you to be in control of your own choices and, with God’s help, determine what is best for you according to His plan for your life. As you gain the tools to take these steps, you will become even more capable of handling life’s challenges on your own. As a result, there will be a decreased likelihood of symptoms flaring up in the future.
People are my calling. My job is to help people like you heal their lives, relationships, and families. With over two decades of experience helping tens of thousands of individuals, couples, and families, I offer empathy, a listening ear, and a healthy dose of wisdom. I am straightforward and often use humor in my practice. I believe it’s so important to be relaxed in this work. I work quickly and don’t waste time getting down to the business of healing people of all ages, backgrounds, genders, relationships, and cultures.
