Meet the Counselor
My eyes were opened to the importance of mental health as a 14 year old girl, struggling with intrusive thoughts that I would later come to understand as OCD. I was given the common means of grace which included counseling, medication and community to walk with me (which is still true to this day).
Prior to becoming a counselor, I have worked at a Christian girls summer camp and also in youth ministry during my college years. For college, I spent 4 years in Jackson, MS at Belhaven University, heavily involved in Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). I truly fell in love with people and their stories in college. I would frequently leave to do a simple task, then look at the time and hours had passed due to running into someone that I swapped life stories with.
After I graduated from college, I spent 3 years working for Reformed University Fellowship at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, walking with college students navigating faith, struggles, and life in college.
I love to listen and that comes from a place of having many people in my own life who have sat with me and currently still do. I have a curious heart that wants to sit with people, specifically those who feel they are just too much or too far gone. I have found that the first step to healing is to be honest with someone who is trustworthy and willing to listen with curiosity and compassion. I would be humbled at the opportunity to hear your story and help you as you tend to yourself in it.

About Flourishing Light
Mission & Vision
At Flourishing Light Counseling, I believe every person has inherent worth, dignity, and purpose. My hope is to offer a place where you can bring your whole story—the struggles, questions, wounds, strengths, and hopes—and be met with compassion, curiosity, and care.
Through a meaningful therapeutic relationship and clinically informed counseling, I help clients better understand their stories, recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and develop greater clarity, connection, and freedom. Together, we can make room for what hurts while also looking toward what is possible.
I believe we were made to flourish. Flourishing does not mean life is without pain or that difficult seasons disappear. It means learning to live with greater authenticity, purpose, resilience, and hope as we grow in understanding of ourselves and the lives we have been given.
My Christian faith shapes how I see every person, but I welcome people of all backgrounds and beliefs. For those who desire it, faith can be thoughtfully woven into counseling as we explore identity, healing, purpose, and hope.
My vision for Flourishing Light Counseling is to offer compassionate care that helps people feel truly seen and supported as they move from simply surviving toward a life that feels more like flourishing.
Approach to Counseling
1. Every Person Has Worth
People are not defined by their struggles, symptoms, trauma, or past experiences.
Flourishing Light Counseling approaches each client as a whole person—with a story, strengths, wounds, hopes, and unique circumstances.
2. Presence Matters
Healing often begins when someone no longer has to carry their pain alone.
The therapeutic relationship provides a place where clients can feel understood, respected, and supported as they explore their experiences.
3. Understanding Creates Change
Many patterns develop for a reason. Even behaviors that create difficulty today may have once helped someone survive.
By understanding our stories, beliefs, and patterns, we can begin creating healthier ways of responding.
4. Growth Without Shame
Change does not require self-condemnation.
Compassion and honesty can exist together. Clients can acknowledge what hurts while also recognizing their capacity for growth.
5. Faith as a Source of Hope
My Christian faith shapes how I see people—with dignity, purpose, and inherent value.
For clients who desire it, faith can be thoughtfully integrated into counseling. Every client's beliefs and personal story are respected.
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.”
