Care that fits what you're facing
Referrals are guided categories that help you find the right professional support for what you're carrying today. About these referrals: The counselors listed here are independent professionals. They are not employed by or affiliated with Light in the Storm, and I receive no payment for referrals.

Individual counseling
As a social worker and therapist I am passionate about seeing individuals step into living a healthy, whole life and finding the abundant life Jesus promises in John 10:10. My experiences in life have prepared me to work with individuals as an empathetic listener. I strive to deliver individualized, high quality, evidence based treatment. My treatment approach is personal and integrative, in that I may integrate complementary interventions in thoughtful and intentional ways to help you make sustainable changes that will help you reach your goals. My therapeutic approach often includes, but is not limited to, principles of CBT, ACT, REBT, 12-step model, motivational interviewing. I also use faith based interventions for those who desire this to be a focus of treatment. While I am passionate about working with and connecting clients to, and integrating their spirituality and faith into their recovery, I do recognize and support their right to decline this aspect in counseling.

Faith-based counseling
Counseling that weaves spiritual values into your sessions if you wish. This care integrates faith and Scripture with sound therapeutic practice, giving you space to bring your whole self — mind, heart, and spirit — into the conversation. Whether you are seeking to reconnect with your beliefs, find peace amid difficulty, or simply want a counselor who respects and honors your faith as part of the healing journey, this approach offers a supportive, Christ-centered path forward. Faith is invited, never required: you choose how much it shapes each session, and your own values always guide the process.
