Ministry Experience: 

I have been serving in ministry since 2022 and currently volunteer with youth (ages 11-18) in both church and camp settings. I am a leader for a girls' small group at my church, and serve in a variety of other ways such as worship team, tech team, and other behind-the-scenes aspects of ministry. By discipling students in this space, I have personally seen the healing power of the Holy Spirit. As someone who finds great purpose and fulfillment teaching the wonders of the Lord, my experience has only furthered my passion to do so through counseling. As a result of these experiences, I am committed to integrating mental health into ministry and coming alongside others in their spiritual journey.

Counseling Experience and Approach:

I am currently the Master's program at George Fox University for a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have completed various hours in counseling peers and completing coursework on various subjects. My counseling approach comes from Strength Based theory and integrating a biblical approach in the process. I believe that by addressing one's strengths and weaknesses this can lead to overcoming challenges, as well as looking through a framework that examines the effect of emotions on a person psychologically. Additionally, I incorporate biblical truths and the effects on one's well being. My goal is to collaborate with each client to meet their personal needs and to provide mental health and spiritual support for long lasting positive change.
