Joy Restored Christian Counseling, LLC

---

At Joy Restored Christian Counseling, LLC, my heart is to walk alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. My approach combines faith-centered counseling with professional clinical insight, offering compassionate care that supports the emotional, relational, and spiritual needs of each person.

I am a Licensed Christian Marriage & Family Therapist (LCMFT) and Licensed Pastoral Counselor (LPC) through the Federal Association of Christian Counselors and Therapists (FACCT). My counseling work integrates biblical truth with evidence-based therapeutic practices, allowing me to care for the whole person ~ mind, body, and spirit.

In addition to counseling, I serve as a Board-Certified Senior Chaplain, providing spiritual and emotional care within hospitals, palliative care settings, and the community. Walking with individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult moments has deeply shaped my passion for offering compassionate, Christ-centered support.

I am also ordained as a Licensed Minister of Counseling at Living Hope Church, allowing me to provide spiritual guidance alongside professional counseling. My training includes certifications in CPR and First Aid through the National CPR Foundation, as well as specialized education in human trafficking awareness, suicide prevention, and trauma-informed care for youth and families.

My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Mid-America Christian University and a Master’s Degree in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. I remain committed to lifelong learning in both psychology and ministry in order to provide the highest level of care for those I serve.

I am a Certified Mental Health Advocate through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) and have received additional crisis response training through AACC’s Suicide P.A.I.R. program.

Above all, my desire is to reflect the love, grace, and wisdom of Christ, helping individuals and families experience restoration, peace, and renewed hope.

My Mission

The mission of Joy Restored Christian Counseling, LLC is to bring Christ-centered healing and restoration to individuals and families through compassionate, faith-based counseling.

I believe true healing begins within the soul and that Jesus Christ, the “Wonderful Counselor” (Isaiah 9:6), is the ultimate source of restoration. By integrating Scripture with professional counseling practices, I seek to provide care that is both clinically sound and spiritually grounded.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals can experience God’s comfort and guidance during difficult seasons.

As Scripture reminds us: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.”
— 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Walking the Journey Together

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to walk through them alone.

My desire is to walk alongside you with compassion, biblical encouragement, and practical guidance as you pursue healing and restoration.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him.”
— Romans 15:13

Wherever you find yourself on your journey, there is hope for healing, renewal, and transformation..

A Personal Message For You…

If you have found your way to Joy Restored Christian Counseling, LLC, I want to take a moment to speak directly to you.

First, I want you to know that you are not alone. The challenges you may be facing ~ whether emotional, relational, or spiritual—are real, and it is okay to seek help. Scripture reminds us:

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7

Reaching out for counseling can feel overwhelming. You may be carrying feelings of fear, confusion, or even shame about what you are experiencing. Yet choosing to seek support is a courageous and meaningful step toward healing.

My desire is to create a safe and compassionate space where you can share your story openly, without fear of judgment. Together, we will explore the challenges you are facing and begin the journey toward healing and restoration.

I believe deeply in the transforming power of God’s love and have witnessed the incredible ways He brings healing into broken places. As Scripture promises:

“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,” declares the Lord.
— Jeremiah 30:17

Your journey is unique, and healing takes time. In our work together, you will be met with empathy, understanding, and encouragement as we uncover the roots of your struggles and develop practical tools for lasting change.

God also reminds us:

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18

Wherever you find yourself today, there is hope. Healing is not only about overcoming hardship—it is about discovering the life, peace, and purpose God desires for you.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of walking alongside you in this journey.
