To help hurting people.  I’ve been through a lot in my life and I feel confident going to God’s Word for counsel, for instruction, and for truth.  How many times have you opened God’s Word and been reading and just felt comforted by what you were learning?  Did you feel as if God was speaking directly to you?  That’s what I’ve experienced and therefore, I’m driven to help other people find that answer they’re looking for through God’s Word.  I believe God is the ultimate Counselor.  So, the counseling I provide, has no frills, no fluff,  just God.  And God is awesome.

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio.  Yes, I'm a Buckeye, but I never attended OSU.  When I graduated high school I swore I'd never step another foot into a high school again!  God laughed at that big time.  After I started living for Jesus Christ, my friends changed, my desires, mind, heart and focus changed. My job changed too, and for the first time in my life, I had purpose. I started working at a christian high school. I also volunteered at my church as a girls care group leader within the youth group. What a blast! I mentored a great group of girls entering the 8th grade and I stayed with them until they graduated.  Bittersweet tears! We are still in touch which pleases me to no end. These girls are now getting married, having kids, graduating with their masters degree, starting their own businesses, and experiencing life. It's so fun to watch, but it's really been making me feel old lately.  

My husband transferred jobs and it brought us out to Northern Indiana. Even though I tried, I couldn't repeat my amazing experiences at our new church and school. That season of life was over and God was leading me elsewhere.  My new passion was with counseling.  I've slowly but surely been in the process of becoming certified as a biblical counselor.  It's been a part-time of a part-time gig. My main priorities are being a wife, mom, and homemaker. God won't let my passions die though and it stirs within me constantly.  I've had the opportunity to work with youth, teens, single mom's, pre-marital gals, on the verge of divorce, already divorced and dating again, and married gals that need help with all the many roles they hold.  It's been exciting, but I don't always have all the answers.  The good news is, God's Word does.
