I love the way the Lord uses the growth areas of my life to help others. I was a college athlete whose whole life was consumed by soccer, until an injury ended my career.  The Lord created space for me to learn who I was in Him rather than my performance or the labels I attached myself to. Simultaneously and unknowingly, the Lord also gave me a love of art, specifically ceramics, in my freshman year of high school, but I was not able to develop the skill much due to the high level of competitive soccer I was involved in. I love the way art transforms and heals in unconscious ways. God created all things and through us creating we can understand our Creator and who He created us to be. Using neuroscience and experiential means, I walk with my clients, and their families, to help understand, heal, and build who they are in Jesus.
