My Background...

I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Pastoral Counseling through Colorado theological Seminary, with advanced certification in Crisis and Abuse Therapy. 

I am licensed through, and practice under the code of ethics of the National Christian Counselors Association. You can read their Code of Ethics HERE. I am commissioned by, and under the covering of my church as a Pastoral Counselor (I'm not a state licensed mental health therapist).

I’m certified as a Genesis Process relapse prevention coach (40 hours), domestic abuse advocate (135+ hours), and Level 1 & 2 Certified Christian Trauma Care Provider (14 hours). I value personal and professional growth and am committed to ongoing education, training, and skill-building.

The name of my counseling practice came about out of my own personal journey from brokenness to restoration. I am A SOUL MADE WELL!

My Goal...

Is to generously and wholeheartedly meet people in their places of need, challenge, or brokenness. Then, in the capacity which I’m able to do so, offer my support and guidance as they choose to take steps toward healing and wholeness.

My Approach...

Is to provide counseling that's Christ-centered, compassionate, goal-oriented, conversational, values-focused, collaborative, and supportive yet challenging.     

My Loves...          

The Word of God, my three daughters whom I've had the privilege of homeschooling since 2009 (two have graduated), walking, paddle boarding, hiking, visiting the beach, Thai food, kombucha, holey jeans, being out in nature, spending time with friends, red tea latte's, naps, connecting with people in deep & meaningful ways, public speaking, reading, worship, and laughter.
