Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach dissociative disorders with a compassionate and holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values. Recognizing the complexities of dissociation and its impact on an individual's sense of self, I draw upon biblical teachings on identity, healing, and restoration. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance, I help clients explore the underlying factors contributing to dissociation while incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. Emphasizing the importance of grounding in one's spiritual identity, I collaborate with clients to integrate their faith into coping mechanisms and strategies for managing dissociative symptoms. This approach seeks to address the spiritual, emotional, and psychological dimensions of dissociative disorders, guiding individuals towards healing and a renewed sense of wholeness within the context of their Christian beliefs.

The brain has an amazing way of helping us survive despite living through traumatic experiences, especially in early childhood. The challenge comes, as these ways of surviving do not serve us well as we get older and are no longer in danger. We will work together to heal the past and move on in a way that will support your current endeavors, relationships, hopes and dreams.
