About

The Journey

The journey toward healing and a beautiful journey is both difficult and rewarding. The path of becoming more whole can be incredibly challenging at times.  I am not here because I have had a perfect path or know all the right turns in life. Your life, your story, and your journey matters. I will walk with you and guide the journey toward restoration.

Many people have a path marked by sorrow, pain, and loss.  Some of the greatest meaning has come from facing that which seemed impossible or threatening, and trusting that which was at work in us to bring us toward who we want to become. We engage with the winters of life, because there is also a spring and summer, new life to be known. The journey teaches us to persevere and to hope.

This is a space where you can just be real as you engage your story, exploring both the dignity and the destruction that marks the pages of your life.  No judgment. This is a sacred journey to restore what has been marred, and grow what is beautiful. I am here to join you in the transformative process of becoming more of who you were meant to be.

You may wonder if it is worth exploring.  Those who honestly face the sorrows and embrace the joys will experience a rewarding journey.  So much more is gained when you are not alone and have someone else helping to navigate the journey.  We were not made to journey alone, but in relationship.

You can face the rugged, seemingly impossible parts of the path when you have the support you need, and you can experience the redemptive process of your story.  Freedom and restoration, and greater wholeness are worth the journey. You are worth this journey.
