Hi, I’m a trauma-focused Pastoral counselor who takes a holistic approach to healing—working with the mind, body, and spirit to help you achieve lasting transformation. I specialize in helping people heal and thrive using approaches like EMDR, which are proven to help process and overcome even deeply rooted pain. My clients often tell me they feel truly safe and supported with me, which allows them to make real breakthroughs. Many have transformed their lives and even referred friends to me because of the changes they’ve experienced.
If you’re ready to heal deeply and create a life of balance and strength, I’d love to help. Let’s talk!

Treatment Approach
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: We know life experiences impact every facet of an individual's being—body, mind, and spirit. Our innovative approach addresses the inadequacies of conventional talk-only methods which often fall short in recognizing this correlation.
Our mission is to set a new standard with a holistic approach to mental health. Clients learn to gain control over their lives and to go from "just surviving" ...to thriving.

At The Healing Cottage, we believe true healing requires more. Our holistic approach integrates counseling, coaching, groups, and educational classes to create a supportive environment where individuals can actively engage in their journey toward growth and thriving.
Many people experience anxiety, depression, and struggles in relationships without recognizing the profound impact of past life experiences. These experiences can distort self-worth, erode confidence, and reinforce feelings of shame and inadequacy, leading to a false belief of being unworthy of love, happiness, or success.
We understand that healing must address the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. By moving beyond the limitations of conventional methods, we provide compassionate support and innovative tools to empower clients. Our mission is to guide individuals from merely surviving to truly thriving, fostering post-traumatic growth and a renewed sense of purpose.
