In the words of Virginia Satir, sometimes we prefer the certainty of misery over the misery of uncertainty. When people wrestle with shame and fear, they often adopt patterns of controlling, avoiding, and numbing as coping mechanisms. We cling to what is familiar and comforting, even when it’s leading to harmful habits, deeper isolation, or burnout. You are not meant to bear this burden alone. Counseling isn’t a sign of failure- it’s for those who are willing to embrace the truth that Christ is near to the brokenhearted and has gone before us in our suffering. It is often through the lowliness of our sin and pain that we are most able to see the nearness of Christ, the sufficiency of His grace, and the beauty of His purpose. I want to support you in fearlessly confronting the brokenness of this world as our Savior did, allowing you to build the resilience, faith, and freedom you’ve been searching for.
In a culture that values perfection, productivity, and instant gratification as cures, I aim to help you journey toward rest and connection in each area of your life. No matter the presenting problem, it’s my goal to not only alleviate surface-level symptoms but also address any deeper effect on your self-worth, relationships, faith, and work.
I work with teens, adults, and couples struggling with OCD, sex addiction/infidelity, anxiety, pre-marital/marital counseling, trauma, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, anger issues, and spiritual direction. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions during this process.
