With His Own Words...
I have been a Licensed Counselor since 2015. When I started my education, I did not intend to be a counselor. I simply stumbled upon being a counselor after enjoying my psychology classes.
I have been a skilled listener and enjoy helping others. As a counselor, I have worked with foster children, foster parents, senior adults, adolescents, working parents, and more. I’ve worked with people in various environments for many other reasons.
Christ saved me at the age of 6. I grew up in a Christian home and was exposed to the gospel. I knew I was a sinner in need of God’s grace. While I have not been perfect, I know I’ve been redeemed through Christ since that age.
In part due to my Christian faith, I have been an outlier in the counseling community. I’m by no means the only Christian counselor out there. However, counseling has grown increasingly hostile toward Christian beliefs in recent years.
The most obvious example of this currently is gender-affirming care. Quite simply, telling minors that God made a mistake with their biology is a lie and evil. I refuse to take part in this. Due to my concerns about the field, I started my counseling practice, Truth & Grace Counseling. I am open about my values and allow my clients to decide if they want to work with a counselor with these values.
I have received numerous emails from clients from different states and, at times, foreign countries that resent my being open with my values. These people who find me online are often troubled and don’t know how to find help from someone who won’t attack their values in a tough time. It’s my honor to help these people through their concerns.
