My Story

WELCOME

What i can help with:

My Calling

There is no greater feeling than that of love and belonging.
Rarely do most understand it starts with YOU.

A brave and courageous YOU to begin the journey of self-reflection, healing, and growth.

YOU were created beautifully in the image of God. As life happens, trauma occurs and you may have lost your footing and wonder where to turn.

For I know the plans I have for you, they are plans for good and not for despair, to give you a future and hope. When you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Jeremiah 29:11

You have arrived.

Together we will walk the path of healing that God has laid out for you. There is safety in this place of non-judgement, unconditional care, and love as you figure out this crazy thing we call life.

You are not alone.
