Ministry Team Member
Licensed Professional Counselor
Fairlawn Location
In the freedom I have found through counseling, I am passionate about leading others to a sense of healing and wholeness. I seek to help others feel at peace with themselves, cultivate safety in their relationships and environment, find healing from past trauma, and navigate current challenges.
Experience
I have earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Ohio.
While I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, I have a special passion for serving children, teens, families, and young women. For the past several years, I have supported individuals in a variety of roles, including teaching, nannying, and working with individuals with special needs. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to helping young people and their families navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding.
I am dedicated to guiding clients on a healing journey that helps them unpack and understand their life stories through a lens of emotional, relational, and spiritual healing. I seek to provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can experience lasting healing and growth. I believe every person's story matters, and I am passionate about helping clients make sense of their past, engage more fully in the present, and cultivate hope for the future.

Scripture
The bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, "There is change in the air." Song of Songs 2:11-13.
Personal Note
In my free time, I enjoy dancing, hiking, reading and writing. I also love spending quality time with my husband, Jonathan, and our two kitties, Rosie and Pip.
