I love that God gives each of us unique qualities and gifts! My empathy hasn’t always been an easy gift to hold, but I treasure the fact that God created me this way so that I can help others. I truly believe that we are all worthy, and we all have a story to tell. It is my privilege to sit with you and to hear your story. I hope that my ability to do what God has called me to do will give you peace and comfort and encouragement as you move forward in your journey. 2 Timothy 1:7 tells us that, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.” It is my prayer that fear will not hold you back in the areas where you seek growth.
