And we know that All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose Romans 8:28 (NKJV).
This verse touches my heart and reminds me why I started my journey in the mental health field. As a Christian, I am passionate about combining faith and spirituality into therapy. I want to help people remove the negative stigma attached to seeking therapy. I love to see people grow and heal from their past and I want to be a part of their journey to feeling whole. Although we all deal with trials, having someone to talk to is essential to one’s well-being. As a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, I realize that many of us struggle in our daily lives. Whether we are dealing with financial issues, job related stress, stress from raising a family, or just life in general. There are times we may need someone to talk to or just a shoulder to lean on.
In my spare time, I love a good early morning gym workout, I love to spend time with my family and friends, I love to travel, I love the game of basketball and keep my channel on ESPN; and I love to read a good book, fictional of course. I have been married for over 20 years and have been fortunate enough to raise five wonderful children, our little own blended family, who have blessed us with four grandchildren. Being part of a blended family has taught me the true meaning of love and understanding.
One little secret to leave you with, please don’t tell anyone; I only go to the gym so I can eat cake, cookies, and chocolate :)
