Ten reasons why people choose to work with me at Ascend Christian Counseling:

  1. My Goal Is Healing—Not Lifelong Counseling
    My mission is to help you find true healing and freedom, not to keep you in counseling forever. (Though I’m always a fan of an occasional check-up!)

  2. I Use Time-Tested, Biblically Sound Resources
    I rely on trusted, faith-based principles and proven tools that have stood the test of time to help you live a healthy, balanced life.

  3. A Relaxed, Non-Clinical Atmosphere
    I offer a comfortable and down-to-earth setting where you can feel safe and at ease. (But no, pajamas aren’t part of the dress code!)

  4. I’m Lighthearted—but Serious About Your Healing
    I love to laugh and keep things real, but when it comes to your growth and recovery, I take that very seriously.

  5. I Believe in Whole-Person Wellness
    God cares about your spirit, soul, and body—and I do too. Together, we’ll pursue healing that touches every part of who you are.

  6. The Holy Spirit Is Always Welcome
    The Holy Spirit is the true Counselor. He knows more about you than you know about yourself, and His guidance is always welcome in our sessions.

  7. Real Change Matters
    Change isn’t change until there’s actual transformation. If things feel stuck, we’ll work together to identify what’s holding you back so you can grow and move forward.

  8. Identity Is Everything
    Knowing who you are in Christ changes everything. When you begin to see yourself the way God sees you, you’ll start living as the best version of yourself—authentic, confident, and whole.

  9. No Weather Excuses!
    Whether it’s snowing, raining, or blazing hot, we can still meet! If weather keeps us from meeting in person, we’ll simply connect virtually.

  10. Your Privacy Is Sacred
    I’ll never ask you for a five-star review or public testimonial. Your counseling journey is private, personal, and completely confidential.

    At Ascend Christian Counseling, my heart is to help you rise above the weight of what’s been holding you down and step into the wholeness God designed for you—spirit, soul, and body.
