I’m a counselor and companion of stories. 

I’m a biblical counselor, writer, researcher, and editor with more than twenty years of experience serving in counseling and discipleship ministries within the local church. My calling to vocational caregiving began as a teenager, though the path toward that calling took many unexpected turns as I sought to understand what faithful ministry looked like as a young woman in conservative Reformed contexts.

I earned my undergraduate degree in History, with an emphasis on Northern Africa and the Reformation, and previously worked as a teacher and curriculum writer. In 2011, I completed my MA in Biblical Counseling at The Master’s University and have since pursued additional training through Global Trauma Recovery Institute, Christian Trauma Healing Network, and I am slowly working my way through seminary courses in practical theology. 

In 2015, I founded a nonprofit counseling organization in Central Florida, partnering with my local church to provide accessible counseling care within the community. After four years, I enfolded my practice into the team at Fieldstone Counseling, where I served as a Senior Counselor and Director of Content and Equipping. In the summer of 2026, I transitioned to my current role as a remote biblical counselor with The Journey and the Process.

My work centers on walking alongside those who feel overwhelmed, burdened, or disoriented by suffering. I have a particular interest in trauma care, abuse recovery, spiritual formation, and the ways our stories shape how we understand ourselves, others, and God. I thrive on the research, writing, and mentoring side of counseling and value offering care that is thoughtful, unhurried, and deeply attentive.

I believe the counseling room is a sacred space—a place where people can tell the truth about their lives without fear, where painful stories are met with compassion rather than judgment. Much of counseling involves gently identifying the false or distorted messages we have come to believe through our experiences and inviting those narratives into the light of God's truth. Sometimes we simply need another voice to help us see more clearly, making room for healing, growth, and freedom.

Beyond counseling, I have written and spoken on topics related to abuse, trauma, ministry burnout, and women's discipleship. I have been a guest contributor for PeaceWorks University and the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC). I have also been a podcast guest on the Safe to Hope, Counsel For Life, and Hey Tabi! podcasts, discussing ReStoried, the support groups I created and continue to facilitate for women recovering from abuse and trauma. In 2027, I will launch the ReStoried Community, a private space designed to support both survivors seeking group care and helpers who want to bring the ReStoried model into their own communities.

My desire to accompany those who are hurting is ultimately an overflow of God's patient grace in my own life. As someone who understands the ache of not quite feeling at home in the world, I hope this is a place where you experience welcome. My life is, by most measures, fairly ordinary, and I often pray that God would keep it humble and small. I write because I don't know how not to. Even when I fear being misunderstood, I continue to believe words can serve as our companions in the loneliest of places. My hope is that you'll find encouragement, clarity, and a measure of rest here as we walk together toward our eternal Home.
