My faith story

I was introduced to Jesus through a friend from high school. I saw the way that she lived out her faith and how it impacted her, and I wanted that for myself. As I grew to understand more about God's love for me in Jesus, I committed my life to him and have not looked back since. Through becoming actively involved serving God's people in the local and inter-church ministries, God gave me a heart for caring for others, which led me to explore the world of pastoral care and counselling.

My heart as always been to integrate faith with professional practice for Christian clients, which is why I choose to study my Masters of Counselling at Morling College, a Bible college in Sydney. I believe in the presence of the Holy Spirit as two or more gather. God is living and active and uses our every day situations, even our suffering and hardships, to grow, change, and restore us. My Christian faith informs my practice in the way view and care for people. I also respect the autonomy, spirituality, and values of my clients and never impose my own worldview, whether or not they share my faith.

I have also completed a ministry internship training at my local church and am actively involved in the worship ministry. Over the years, I have served in pastoral care and leadership roles, including young adults and women's discipleship groups.
