No matter your struggle there’s always someone here for you.

Meet Our Remarkable Team!

Our Services Include:

Coaching

Coaching looks at your present functioning along with your future potential in order to help you unlock your giftings, passions, and talents so that you can succeed in being all that God has called you to be. It helps you move beyond your current limitations to set and accomplish God-sized goals for your life.

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression distort how we feel, think, and handle mundane activities such as sleep, nutrition, and work for extended periods of time. Both are among the most effectively treated mental disorders with routine therapy being one of the most effective treatment options.

Family Conflict

Family conflict is inevitable. Dysfunctional families are the rule, not the exception. A functional family is best described as one that handles their dysfunction with love and grace. Every family experiences conflict. It’s still a challenge to navigate though. Oftentimes an outside perspective creates clarity for the family to find resolution.

Emotional Dysfunction

Experiencing abuse or trauma can create toxic beliefs about ourselves that result in feelings of anger, rejection, worthlessness, low self-esteem, shame, emotional shutdown, and self-hatred. Internalizing these poisonous lies leads to emotional dysphoria and dysfunction where we oftentimes create false identities for ourselves.

Spiritual Abuse

Spiritual abuse is rampant. This kind of abuse must be handled with special care because of how it impacts our identity while creating an unnecessary barrier between us and God. The help of a skillful and trusted guide is essential in healing spiritual wounds and restoring a proper understanding of God, ourselves, and others.

Grief & Trauma

Grief and trauma can develop deep roots in our identity if left unresolved. Whether it’s childhood trauma, loss of a loved one, sexual trauma, or any other form, it needs resolution. Treatment for trauma and grief involves a counseling professional using evidence-based clinical treatments as well as Biblical and pastoral approaches.

Marriage & Relationships

Marriages and relationships are hard work. There are seasons when communication with our significant others feels impossible. Sometimes deeply rooted or toxic problems arise threatening to destroy a relationship we’ve spent years cultivating. Trained marriage counselors give you the safe space and tools you need to overcome these obstacles.

Spiritual Warfare

There is a real spiritual enemy seeking to wreak havoc and destruction in our lives. We suffer under the enemy far more than we need to because we willingly walk in sin or believe the enemy’s lies. A spiritual counselor equips you to recognize the enemy’s attacks while helping you develop a successful counter-attack.

Addictions

Addictions affect people and their loved ones in many different ways. Not only are there substance addictions, such as alcohol and drugs, but there are also behavioral addictions like sex, pornography, food, video games, social media. Professional counselors guide those suffering from addiction and their loved ones from despair to freedom.

Our Counselors

How can we be so confident that you can have victory over whatever you may be struggling with right now when you reach out to NuWell? Because of our people. The biggest indicator to a successful outcome for a counseling or therapy relationship is the quality of the connection between the counselor and the client. This is why we look for exceptional people from diverse backgrounds and professional licenses who are passionate about both our principles and giving you excellent, crafted care. Our diversity makes it easy for you to find a counselor with whom you connect. Our common principles assure you of the direction of care you can expect. Our passionate and professional team is why we are so confident for your success.

Finding the Right Online Counselor for You

The most important part of your wellness journey is finding a guide who connects with you. Here are a few of our specialties:

Coaches

When counseling or therapy isn’t the right fit for your goals, then coaching may be what you need. Your goals may be related to marriage, family, health, career, spirituality, or emotional well-being, and our coaches are equipped to help you surpass them.

When you need extra insight, accountability, and a game plan to accomplish your God-sized goals, our coaches are ready.

Pastoral Counselors

Our pastoral counselors have diverse theological backgrounds but are united under Biblical Christianity. Pastoral counselors specialize with people who have spiritual questions, have suffered from spiritual abuse, or are engaged in spiritual warfare.

When you need guidance focused on your spiritual self, then one of our credentialed pastoral counselors will be a great fit.

Christian Counselors

Are you being affected by trauma, disorders, addiction, or abuse? If so, you’ll want to pair up with one of our licensed counselors. Using evidence-based clinical practices that are framed Biblically, our Christian counselors give care you can trust.

When you need counseling focused on psychological care, then one of our Christian counselors can help you navigate to victory.

The Sage (Think Christian Yoda)

Sometimes it’s nice to process ideas and information that you’ve been working through with someone you trust in a safe space. Our sages are expert listeners adept at asking you the right questions for progress. Mature and seasoned ears you can trust.

When you’ve hit a road block in your processing and could use a seasoned and wise outside perspective, our sages are for you.

Part of healing is learning what healthy spirituality and community look like. Another part is discovering what is getting in the way of truly overcoming.

Functional Nutrion Counselor

With a Bachelor of Science degree and certification as a Functional Nutrition Counselor from the Functional Nutrition Alliance, I bring a specialized focus on supporting clients with chronic disease management, gut health, and hormonal balance. My approach to health and wellness is rooted in understanding that while our bodies are designed to function optimally, various factors can disrupt this balance, leading to health challenges. I believe that by identifying each individual’s unique needs and addressing foundational imbalances, we can create a personalized path to wellness.

I offer a range of services, beginning with a complimentary discovery call to explore clients’ needs and goals. From there, clients can start with the Wellness Kick-start Package, which includes an in-depth History Intake Session, a Nutrition Session, and a Tool Kit with tools such as the Functional Nutrition Timeline, Matrix, and Action Form. For continued support, I provide ongoing 1-hour Continuing Wellness Sessions, available singly or in discounted packages.

In my sessions, clients can expect a collaborative, individualized approach focused on uncovering root causes rather than merely addressing symptoms. I use tracking tools to assess each client’s progress and adapt interventions to ensure we’re moving toward their goals. My role is to work in partnership with clients, crafting a customized plan that empowers them to achieve optimal wellness.

My journey into natural health began with my own experience managing Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Traditional medical approaches didn’t provide the relief I needed, so I set out on a journey to understand and heal my body holistically. Through this, I learned that true wellness comes from caring for the whole self—body, mind, and spirit. Now, I am dedicated to helping others find their own paths to vibrant health.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, staying active, reading, and unwinding with a good Netflix series. These interests keep me grounded and continually inspire my commitment to holistic health for myself and my family.
