I am a Licensed Professional Christian Counselor (LPC) specializing in relational and developmental trauma recovery, PTSD/childhood abuse recovery, healing the child within and family of origin healing. I use a story informed trauma treatment model (SITT) . I practice from a "wounded healer" perspective as I have my own testimony of childhood abuse recovery, divorce recovery and remarriage/blended family. I consider it an honor to walk alongside my adolescent through adult clients as He turns broken into beautiful, messes into messages and trials into triumphs. "His plans are to give you HOPE and a FUTURE." Jer 29:11 #doodlelover I am EMDR trained and completed two years of Somatic Experiencing trauma training. I primarily work with individuals but will invite partners/family members into the process to establish a safe place to land for my clients as they complete their healing journey. I use prayer/scripture as requested. I am about safety and RELATIONSHIP not religion/legalism. "When we deny our stories, they define and own us. When we OWN OUR STORIES, we get to write the ending." Brene' Brown. Your history can become His-story if you let Him heal/write it! We cannot change the beginning but we can start today and change the ending! If you have lost hope, borrow mine a while! He did it for me; He can do it for you...just step!
