Why It Works
This approach works because it blends professional expertise with lived compassion. As a psychologist and well-being leader, I translate mental health science into practical, faith-aligned tools that churches can use right away. And with years of service within the church and a deep commitment to mentally healthy faith environments, I bring an understanding of both the spiritual and emotional needs of a community—creating support that feels trustworthy, grounded, and truly caring.
- Health psychologist with faith-based grounding

- Joy as a theological and psychological anchor
