We all long for a sense of purpose and belonging, yet many of us find ourselves exhausted—stuck in old wounds, chronic anxiety, or patterns of striving and shame. You are not alone, beloved one!Whether you are looking for secure telehealth counseling from your home in Ohio or seeking to partner for in-person ministry groups in the Wooster community, I am here to support you on this part of your journey toward wholeness.I provide a place for an honest exploration of faith, shame, doubt, disappointments; a place where you are honored and valued as a child of God. And a place for growing deeper in your relationship with Jesus and greater awareness of His great big magnificent love for you. Experiencing God's love is the way to healing and victory.

Virtual Mental Health Counseling & EMDR Therapy

Many Christians suffer with mental health challenges alone, often wondering if they are lacking in faith, or doing something "wrong." Mental Health Counseling and EMDR Therapy provide insight, learning, and healing by addressing current symptoms while working to heal past wounds caused by the painful life experiences that we all experience as we live and grow in a broken world.

Christian Inner Healing & Spiritual Formation

Spiritual formation is the process of healing and personal transformation through experiences with Jesus. Practices include contemplative prayer, inner healing/formational prayer, mindfulness practices, and spititual disciplines. We learn to grow deeper in our faith and in our relationship with Jesus as we experience His presence. Spiritual formation leads to increased fruits of the Spirit in our lives and an ever-deepening connection to God, ourselves and others.

Somatic Therapy & Embodied Care

Embodied care and somatic therapies recognize the importance of the body in healing and incorporate body awareness, mindfulness, grounding, and intentional movement. The Christian faith is to be an embodied experience. As it turns out, our bodies really matter to the one who created them! Unresolved trauma continues to impact our physical bodies, even years later; including the body in our wellness journey can bring a deeper level of awareness and healing beyond traditional talk therapies.
