About Restoration Christian Counseling, LLC

I was born in St. Charles, MO into a large family of eight children. In 1994 at age 17, I married and was blessed with two beautiful daughters: Vivian and Alessandra. I currently reside in Lakeland, Florida with my oldest daughter and her husband nearby.  

I have a background in the banking-mortgage industry since graduating high school, although, the Lord put His calling on my heart to minister to hurting people. Life tragedies have had a major part in that life-changing decision. 

My mother died by suicide when I was only 14, leaving me to help raise my siblings. My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years later, and more recently I lost a sister, also by suicide. These life experiences brought many ups and downs into my spiritual journey. For many years I walked away from the Lord...but the Lord never walked away from me. He used a number of people to keep me aware that He still was fighting for me.  Vivian was one of those instruments God used to bring the entire family back into the church in 2008. It was there that I discovered my true calling, as I became more dependent upon the Lord. I received many confirmations that it was time to fully dedicate my life to helping others find hope and healing through Jesus Christ. 

 I opened my practice in 2019 and continued my education throughout the years. I received my Doctorates from the International College of Ministry in 2024. I am currently in the process of publishing a book that I envisioned other counselors can use as a tool to guide their clients into freedom.
