actions to see how Christ is bringing us to Himself. This means stepping into vulnerability and accepting the fact that sometimes we are not ok. Yet, that is ok. In fact, God has given us community because we were never meant to go through life alone. My desire is that we will see God glorify Himself by seeing Christ redeem us and make us well.

I have a strong passion to connect with others and build up the body of Christ. I strive to be an active listener and view every interaction as a way to provide care to God's people. It is with a deep love for Christ and the Church that I seek to glorify Him in the way we engage with each other. What you can expect from talking with me is that I ask a lot of questions. I want to get to know you, what you are going through, and see how God has equipped you to fight for His glory right where you are.

With a passion for helping others to be seen, heard, and valued, I treasure connecting others to the transforming work of Christ. It is His work that I seek to share with other people so that they can experience grace and healing in a relationship with the Father that will last a lifetime. In fostering an atmosphere of sincerity, honesty, and vulnerability, I have partnered with many people over the past 9 years in both a counseling and ministry setting. These have included working with addiction, anxiety, crisis intervention, depression, grief, and matters of faith just to name a few. Through listening and serving others, I have developed a great love for joining with people to identify barriers, overcome obstacles, and engage with the fractured part of our stories. I do this by drawing on my experience as a pastor, a counselor, and as a person in equal need of grace. Equipping those I serve with prayer, practical tools, and tangible steps has been both a daily duty and delight for years. I am deeply concerned with the heart and believe that God has given us all incredible minds that heal and work for His glory. It is my goal to help others see how Christ is redeeming the ruptures in our lives.
