After nearly two decades of discipling children and students of all ages, God has now placed a deep desire in my heart to counsel children and teens struggling with all of life’s most traumatic upsets. Garden Gate Biblical Counsel is a para-church ministry desiring to walk with young people on the journey to find hope and healing in Jesus. God has given everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him (2 Peter 1:3) to walk this journey. Additionally I am a Certified Biblical Counselor with the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (ACBC), and hold an M.A. in Biblical Counsel with a concentration of counseling with children and teens.
My husband and I live in Wisconsin where we raised two daughters and have been blessed by the addition of their husbands to our family. I have been active in the local church for many years including coordinating children’s ministry, leading women’s and youth bible studies, and presenting community outreach events.
God has graciously directed me to become completely immersed in Biblical Counsel consisting of counseling, writing articles, and presenting workshops/training all with the goal of loving God most and loving others well (Matt. 22:37-39). I pray that as I live my life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, I will be able to help you and your child(ren) find hope in that very same, life-changing gospel.
If your child or teen is struggling in their responses to life due to grief or trauma, or perhaps questioning the purpose of life and responding with sadness, despair, anger, or isolation, I’d like you to know that there is hope and help through biblical counsel. It would be my pleasure to walk along side you and your family.
