A Brief Introduction
I’m a systemic practitioner at heart. I’ve been a business owner since 2012, a licensed marriage & family therapist in private practice since 2015, and a certified professional coach since 2016.
I love learning. I earned a B.A. in psychology, M.A. in marriage and family counseling, and I’m now pursuing a D.Min. in spiritual formation and relational neuroscience. Between seminary degrees, I trained in Bowen Family Systems Theory, Relationship Enhancement, and Gottman Method.
I’m curious about our experiences of God and of church. In my own story, I’m well acquainted with grief, ambiguous loss, and the hurt that occurs behind closed doors in our family systems and faith spaces. Personally, this has led me to desire good theology, gender equality, mutuality in marriage and ministry, and knowing more deeply the goodness of God. (In fact, I wrote a whole book about my story right here on Substack.)
Thanks for reading, I hope you’ll read more, and I look forward to meeting you in your inbox.
