βIt is said that connection is the opposite of addiction [Johann Hari]. I believe counseling promotes healing through safe connection. It is important to me to provide an environment where a person can safely connect, unashamedly tell their story, and discover redemption and healing in their life. As a counselor, I strive to point towards the Hope in darkness when it feels as if all other lights have gone out. Outside of my role as a counselor, I deeply enjoy being a wife, a mother, a Marvel fan, and getting lost in an art project.β
