I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and founder of Rooted Christian Counseling.

​

The Lord started my journey to this career path long before I was aware of it. As a child I endured major health struggles that caused anxiety and depression to be a part of my life. It wasn’t until young adulthood that I took action to fight these obstacles. But the Lord intended good to come out of these struggles.

​

My own health story led me to pursue a career in the field of nursing. I spent four years as a med-surg nurse, one year as an oncology nurse, and one year as a school nurse. Throughout this time, I learned that many of the patients I saw not only needed medical help, but many just needed a listening ear to offer support and guidance. Being able to provide this filled me with great joy. After being a school nurse for a year, I felt the Lord tugging at my heart, guiding me to return to school to obtain a degree that would allow me to pursue a career of mental health counseling. He is faithful, opened all the right doors, and led me to the path of becoming a PMHNP. I graduated in December of 2024.

The Lord has used my own life and my own struggles to fuel my love for the field of counseling. I am certified as a Women’s Mental Health Specialist and am passionate about helping women through the mental health struggles they are facing. I also work with teenagers to help them overcome their own struggles and step into the goodness that the Lord has planned for them. I am passionate about looking at mental health from a holistic perspective and believe that there are many external influences on mental health. My aim is to offer guidance and care from a biblical perspective to those who are searching for hope and healing.
