My Journey & Counseling Approach

Anchored Hope Christian Counseling was born from a deep desire to offer compassionate, faith-based support to those facing life’s challenges. As a Christian counselor and church staff member, my own journey through seasons of struggle and spiritual growth has shaped my heart for helping others find hope and healing – and then sent me back to school to better serve others. Before becoming a counselor, I spent decades serving in ministry: caring, teaching, supporting, discipling, resourcing, praying, lay-counseling, and stepping into crisis care in my roles at church. I am also a wife to my loving husband, as well as a mother to five children, all of whom we homeschooled. I now have the blessing of three grandchildren. The peaks and valleys of my own life experiences have led me to some deep places with Jesus, and it is my heart to journey there with you as well.

Rooted in my relationship with Jesus, I believe true emotional and spiritual healing happens in a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I incorporate the NCCA Temperament assessment, which is your God-given hard wiring for emotional needs, into evidence-based counseling with biblical principles. I walk alongside you as you navigate personal growth, emotional pain, or times of uncertainty. I bring a biblically integrated approach to supporting your struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, and self-worth. Together, we can invite Jesus into the hardest parts of your story.

My philosophy centers on meeting you where you are—honoring your story, your faith, and your unique needs. Through a coaching-based approach, together we can create actionable steps and tools for growth. Whether you’re seeking guidance through a difficult season or longing for deeper connection with God, my goal is to support you with warmth, empathy, truth, and unwavering respect. You are not alone; there is hope.
