Welcome to Penuel Counseling.
You’re here. That means you took a courageous step. May you find this space inviting, clarifying, and empowering to take one more.
About Penuel.
pen-u-el // face of God; a place of wrestling, a place of blessing, a place of renaming.
To be human is to hold deep dignity and frightening frailty. We play, we create, we love, we hope, we search, we risk. We fear, we despair, we hurt, we bleed. Sometimes, we find ourselves in the midst of depression, grief, burnout, anxiety, despair, addiction, marital distress, and panic. With best intentions, we tirelessly cope and fight to survive.
Penuel Counseling is created to be a safe and sacred space that invites you to return to hope, to play, and to belonging through relationship. This return will require walking through - not around - the pain and sadness. That’s why we don’t do this work alone.
I would love to come alongside you and bear witness to your return.

Week after week, I sat across from my counselor as I learned to tell my story more truly, heard hope more fully, and returned to holistic health and healthy relationships.
I was fifteen years-old. My journey toward wholeness has continued since then.
After spending a year in Central Asia engaging in ministry, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from New College Franklin, a Christian Classical College located in Franklin, TN. I then moved to Orlando, FL where I completed my Master of Arts in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary.
Currently, I serve as Director of Care at NewCity Orlando in addition to counseling through Penuel.
I enjoy making music, creating beautiful spaces (where I live and work), going for walks and runs around Orlando lakes, dancing, being with my people, and sipping coffee while rummaging for words through writing and journaling.
