Therapists in Lynchburg, VA

I am passionate about helping clients engage their stories in a way that leads to a better understanding of who they are. As a Christian Counselor, I seek to create a compassionate space for you to express your fears, hurts or stressors while combating the shame that often compels us to hide. My role is to guide, encourage, and challenge you as you move towards growth. I also believe not all counseling is about change. Sometimes, circumstances outside of your control lead to a hard season of life. In these instances, I seek to empathize, listen and identify the truths and values that help us feel a sense of calm in a chaotic world.

I have a passion for working with people in an intentional, collaborative way to allow for personal growth, healing, and restoration. I believe in providing a safe space for concerns to be shared and working toward sustainable, long lasting change that may result from counseling.
