My Story
Your journey matters and who walks beside you can make all the difference.
Born from Personal Journey
New Pathway Counseling Services was born from my deeply personal journey—one shaped by heartbreak, healing, and hope.
As a mother of two, my world changed in ways I never expected after experiencing the ultimate betrayal in my marriage. The future I had imagined suddenly looked very different, and I had to find a new path—one that allowed me to be present for my children while rebuilding a life grounded in purpose and stability.
Along the way, I navigated an emotionally charged divorce and custody case, grieved the loss of my best friend to cancer, and moved twice. Through it all, I did my best to show up for my children and myself, even when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain. It was a roller coaster I desperately wanted to get off. Some days were easier than others, and healing rarely followed a straight line.
There were nights filled with doubt and tears as I balanced graduate school, single motherhood, a divorce and custody case, and high-conflict co-parenting. In those difficult moments, I discovered resilience, courage, and a faith that helped sustain and motivate me.
I also learned the value of feeling heard, supported, and understood when life feels unfamiliar, difficult, and unfair.
That is why I have made it my life’s mission to support others as they find their own New Pathway!
From Pain to Purpose
As a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC), Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), Certified Grief Professional (CGP), and Certified Family Reunification Specialist (CFRS), I bring clinical training and compassion to my work.
I use a multi-modality approach to therapy because I believe every person’s experiences, needs, and goals are unique. Rather than fitting you into a box, I tailor our work together to reflect who you are and what you need.
I integrate solution-focused approaches with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment theory, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we explore patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward a life that feels meaningful to you.
My Mission
To provide compassionate, christian based counseling that integrates clinical expertise with spiritual wisdom, helping individuals, couples, and families find hope, healing, and new pathways forward in their lives.

Faith-Integrated Counseling
I follow my client's lead and explore their beliefs related to their faith. Faith integration is always optional and client-led.
What Faith-Integrated Counseling Looks Like
- Exploring how faith informs meaning, hope, forgiveness, and resilience
- Incorporating scripture that aligns with your beliefs and values
- Prayer, only at your request
- Addressing spiritual struggles such as guilt, doubt, anger, or grief
- Aligning therapeutic goals with your personal values and faith framework
Why Faith Integration Matters
For many people, faith is not an "add-on"—it shapes:
- How they understand suffering and healing
- Their moral compass and decision-making
- Their sense of hope, forgiveness, guilt, and purpose
- Their community, rituals, and support system
Clinical Counseling, Not Pastoral Counseling
Ethical Christian counseling is not pastoral counseling and does not involve preaching, moralizing, or telling clients what they "should" believe. My role remains clinical—not spiritual authority. Faith is explored as a source of strength, a source of struggle, or sometimes both. You set the pace and depth of any spiritual discussion.
Had a Difficult Experience with Christian Counseling Before?
Faith-integrated therapy can be inclusive and client-centered when practiced ethically. I do not assume uniform beliefs, lifestyles, or experiences.
You remain free to:
- Question your faith
- Express doubt, anger, or spiritual wounds
- Explore identity and values without judgment
This is a space where faith struggles—not just faith strengths—can be discussed openly.
I work with clients of all backgrounds. Faith-based integration is optional and always client-led. Whether you share my faith or not, you are welcome here.
