If ever someone was actually “born” to do something, I believe that I was “born” to be a healing helper in the lives of others. After being a stay at home mom for 22 years, God reawakened my birth calling, and Joyful Restoration Counseling emerged after a long season of spiritual drought.
Walking alongside someone as they move towards their healing journey is one the most humbling and honoring positions to embrace. I incorporate a variety of methods to enhance a client’s counseling experience including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Attachment Theory, Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT), anger management, psychodrama, and Pschobiological Approach to Couple’s Therapy (PACT). Sprinkling some prayer and scripture into the therapeutic experience I believe further deepens the emotional healing. And, exploring and processing the underlying trauma that drives the core of shame and self-destructive behaviors, ultimately helps people find or rediscover the joy that may have been missing in their lives.
Native to Texas, I have been married to a man for 34 years that I have known since grade school. Together we have three adult children and four grandchildren, an Australian Labradoodle, a Sheepadoodle, and a bundle-full of grand-dogs!
