My specialty is working with couples in crisis. Using Scripture as our guide, I help couples rebuild their marriages by teaching effective communication skills, how to restore trust, and what biblical forgiveness truly is—and what it is not. I have additional training in healing after betrayal and am a Certified Gottman Couples Counselor, integrating both evidence-based and biblical principles in my work.

I also work with individuals who feel stagnant in their spiritual lives. Many find themselves caught in the frustrating sin-confess-sin cycle, unable to break free from old patterns. I help individuals discover their identity in Christ and how to draw strength and clarity from God’s Word. As they begin to walk in truth, a new pattern of freedom and transformation emerges.

I hold a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University and a Master’s Certification in Biblical Counseling and Life Coaching. I have been married for 38 years, am a mother to six children, and a grandmother to five. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, my passion is to teach others how to honor God in their relationships and walk in the fullness of His design for their lives.

I am  passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families  heal from life's hurts and challenges so they  can live healthy, happy and productive lives. As a certified practitioner of the Gottman Couples Method, I specialize  in marriage and premarital counseling, guiding  couples to strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and gain a better  understanding of one another. I am also certified in Active Parenting of Teens, and enjoy working with adolescents  and their families. In this role, I help parents to establish effective  communication and develop strategies to navigate challenges such  as rebellion and other  behavioral  struggles.  In addition, I provide support for individuals going through seasons of depression, anxiety, loss, and anger, offering a compassionate and practical approach to growth and healing. 

I have a BS in Psychology and a Masters in Counseling and Human Relations from Liberty University.   As a  Christian Counselor, I use a faith based,  integrative  approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy with prayer and scripture. This  approach has proven to be successful in helping my clients  build on their God given strengths to develop the tools needed for a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

​With more than 26 years of counseling experience, I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, couples, and families to help them find hope, healing, and renewed strength. For the past three years, I have had the privilege of serving with Renewing Hearts Counseling, after more than two decades counseling privately and in private schools. During those years, I supported students and families through life’s challenges and transitions, which deepened my experience and commitment to helping people of all ages thrive.

I specialize in working with teenagers and adults who are seeking to grow in confidence, self-esteem, and self-image. My areas of focus include communication skills, panic disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I also enjoy providing marriage and relationship counseling, as well as coaching athletes to develop mental toughness and effectively manage competition stress.

My approach blends proven therapeutic methods, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with faith-based counseling, integrating biblical truth to foster healing and long-term growth. I believe in creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can identify the triggers that hold them back and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling quality of life.

I hold a BS in Business Education and a Master’s in School Counseling from The University of Georgia. In addition, I am a Board-Certified Mental Health Coach and a Biblical Counselor. Beyond my professional work, I find my greatest joy in being a wife and a grateful mom to two girls.

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege to serve individuals and couples of varying life-stages, helping them navigate spiritual, familial, and emotional struggles. Using my background in Pastoral ministry, I combine tools from biblical counseling and life coaching to help my clients clarify what God would have them to do in their situation. I’ve worked extensively with couples navigating communication and conflict issues, and individuals wrestling with anger, anxiety, depression, and spiritual struggles. I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can work through your struggles without fear. I have a BA in Communication from Augusta University and a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I would love to partner with you to accomplish your goals and make your story all that you want it to be.

As a compassionate and experienced counselor, I am dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen their relationships and navigate challenging life struggles. My passion for this work is fueled by Biblical truths, which I apply to help clients develop skills, set and achieve goals, and learn about God's redemptive and healing love. I am extensively trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, including Bringing Baby Home, Treating Affairs and Trauma, and The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, and am also a certified facilitator for both SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich premarital and marital counseling.

​

My practice is informed by my own life experiences, including over thirty years of marriage, raising six children, and extensive involvement in community and church mentoring programs. I hold a BA in Psychology and English from Presbyterian College and also attended the University of Georgia for graduate school in Education. I am currently furthering my expertise by pursuing a Master's in Pastoral Counseling. For your convenience, virtual appointments are an option after our initial meeting.

For over 30 years, I've had the privilege of serving as an educator in public and private schools, and now as a Christian life coach, my mission is to guide women and children toward the abundant life found in Jesus Christ. My extensive experience, backed by a Master's in Learning Disabilities, allows me to provide targeted support to children facing learning challenges with reading, writing, and math, as well as executive functioning. Because these challenges often impact the entire family, I also help parents on effective strategies to support their children at home.

My passion extends to serving senior citizens, drawing on my own experience to help others navigate the complexities of aging. I offer compassionate support to those grieving a spouse by helping them establish new routines rooted in their faith and assist adult children in setting healthy boundaries while honoring their parents. My educational background includes a BS in Elementary Education from Georgia Southern University and a Master's in Learning Disabilities from Augusta University. I am currently furthering my commitment to serving others by working toward my life coaching certification through Light University.

As a dedicated and compassionate counselor with over 12 years of experience, I guide individuals and families through life's challenges. Guided by Scripture and faith-based principles, my practice is rooted in a deep understanding of the human condition and a passion for spiritual healing. I specialize in helping clients with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, grief, and spiritual struggles. A passionate advocate for the integration of faith and mental health, I use a gentle yet firm approach to help others experience healing and wholeness in Christ.

My educational background includes a BS in Psychology from Geneva College and a Master's Certificate in Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Furthering my experience, I have also completed The Gottman Method Couples Therapy and am a certified functional nutritionist. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy running, reading, gardening, and camping with my family.
