I provide compassionate, faith-integrated counseling for Christian women seeking help with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, rejection, low self-esteem, emotional wounds, and narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships.

My approach integrates Christian faith with evidence-based counseling, including spiritually informed CBT and DBT principles. I help women understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, trauma, and spiritual beliefs while learning practical skills for healing and healthy change.

Areas of focus include:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Narcissistic abuse and emotionally abusive relationships
  • Rejection and abandonment wounds
  • Low self-esteem and shame
  • Codependency and people-pleasing
  • Trauma bonds and unhealthy attachment
  • Boundaries and assertiveness
  • Emotional and spiritual abuse
  • Divorce and relationship recovery
  • Stress and emotional overwhelm
  • Identity and self-worth
  • Christian faith and emotional healing

My practice is fully virtual, serving clients throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Nevada. I begin sessions with prayer and include biblical integration, along with practical tools and worksheets to support growth between sessions.

Visit www.growingingrace.life to explore video resources, or reach out by email at [email protected] with questions. I’d be honored to support your healing.

Individual therapy only.

I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.

Your Story. Your Purpose. Your Identity. Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about uncovering who you've always been. Life has a way of shaping us. Painful experiences, trauma, loss, relationships, and fear can leave us carrying beliefs and protective patterns that once helped us survive, but now no longer serve us. Together, we'll explore your story, heal unresolved wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and reconnect with the authentic identity that's been there all along.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to get caught in a cycle of anxious thoughts, emotional exhaustion, or self doubt that makes it hard to enjoy the things that once brought you joy. Anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly waiting for things to get better. You don't have to navigate that journey alone. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and OCD so they can find greater emotional balance, regain confidence in themselves, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more fulfilling. Working with adolescents and adults, I strive to create a supportive, judgment free space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to make lasting change.
