Christ Centered
Transformation in our lives is dependent on the person and work of Jesus through the help of the Holy Spirit. As we come to know Christ more deeply, we will grow to more clearly reflect Him to others.
Trauma Informed
As we understand our own stories of sin and suffering in this fallen world, we begin to see healing and transformation that allows us to experience shalom: wholeness, fulfillment, and connection.
Compassionate Care
Trauma happens in relationships and it is healed in relationships. Counseling is a deeply personal, side-by-side ministry where care is given that respects both body and soul.

💡𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅! 💡
Hey Friends, I am offering a 6-week interactive, virtual course called 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮. In all my years of teaching, this is probably my favorite class I have taught! This course will equip you with tools and frameworks for exploring your own story, understanding the Gospel narrative, and walking alongside others as they do the same. What makes 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 unique is that we get to draw the tools to help reinforce the concepts! Don't worry, you don't have to be a great artist... just come ready to play with markers and interact with others. The cost of this live interactive video call course is $100 and I am limiting the number of participants to 15 people so that we can discuss and apply the tools as we learn them. We will begin Mon, March 6 from 6-7:30pm CST.
