Hi, I'm Judy...
After 25 years of marriage in a blended family, I am blessed to be mom to five and grandmother to nine. My personal journey through the trials and triumphs of family life has equipped me with unique insights and empathy, which allow me to connect deeply with those I counsel. I also bring a comprehensive approach to assisting individuals and organizations in achieving their career and lifestyle aspirations, as I have a robust background in staffing, vocational guidance, and business leadership, which has given me a deep understanding of the job market and nuances of career and staff development.Â
Modalities/Approach:
My heart is committed to bringing comfort, healing, and restoration to individuals who are experiencing emotional and psychological pain. My counseling emphasizes the individual’s personal experience and autonomy in the therapeutic process while creating a safe and supportive environment. I desire to be an ambassador of hope and an example of God’s grace by offering an approach to therapy that integrates faith and spirituality for clients who wish to include these elements in their therapeutic journey.Â
By drawing on the rich resources of the Christian faith, alongside evidence-based psychological practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I aim to create a compassionate and nurturing environment where clients can explore, process, and begin to understand and change the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their emotional distress. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or other challenges, my goal is to facilitate meaningful change and foster resilience in a supportive, collaborative environment.
