New Hope- A Christian Counseling Place

I’m so glad you have decided to seek counseling. You may feel uncertain about talking with someone you don’t know, so here is a bit about my background.

My undergraduate work was completed at SUNY Geneseo, and I recently obtained my M.A. in Pastoral Counseling through Liberty University. I completed advanced training with Elijah House Inner Healing Prayer Ministries and am a registered GriefShare facilitator. I worked for over 25 years in education and 5+ years in mental health, and have served as a counselor in various ministry positions including Youth for Christ, Teen Challenge and Love INC of the Lakes Region. I have held many service and leadership positions in the local church and community.
