I grew up in a Christian home. My parents faithfully took me and my siblings to church several times a week. I wanted to be a part of God’s family as long as I can remember. I wanted to be loved by Him and receive eternal life, so at a young age I prayed for God to save me and was baptized. My life, following that time, has been a series of life events that refine my understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. There have been times my faith seemed to grow by leaps and bounds, and other times it felt stagnant.

​

My biggest struggle with my faith happened when I went through an unwanted divorce. It was an incredibly challenging time in my life. I was heartbroken and uncertain how I would ever find joy in life again. Thankfully, I received counseling at the time. I believe the Lord used counseling as a means of sustaining me at a time I didn't think it was possible. Today, I have college degrees and credentials to sit in the counselor's seat, but it was probably that time sitting across from my own counselor in my darkest season of life that has truly been my greatest training as a counselor.

“Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” - 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 (ESV)
