Christian Counselor and Coach for women and couples offering a holistic approach.

You don’t have to show up as anything other than yourself.

Our Three-Step Path to Peace:

1. Discover Your Design Learn and understand how your brain and body is uniquely designed to function. When you understand the "why" behind your stress, you can move forward with a clear mind and a heart free from shame.

2. Calm Your Nervous System Using neuroscience-backed tools, we’ll help your nervous system move out of "survival mode." This is where you trade the inner spiral for a calm, regulated body that feels like home again.

3. Step Out Empowered with evidence-based psychological tools rooted in a Biblical worldview for both your mind and body. You will leave sessions feeling steady and confident in your ability to handle whatever life throws your way.

Get to know me

calming scene of a book on a bed

✦ An INFJ therapist.

✦My two compass songs, because I also need daily reminders: “Hills and Valleys” by Tauren Wells and the old hymn, “Come Thou Fount.”

✦ I prefer paper over tablet; you’ll find a pile of books stacked on my nightstand.

✦ My perfect day? Wildflowers on my table. Something hot to sip. No hurry. Comfy pants. Catch the sunrise. Birdwatching. Good book. Cozy blanket. A hike.

TESTIMONIALS |Kind Words

  • “I am so grateful for Larissa. She has a very calming way about her, I learned so much about emotions and how to give attention to my inner self. I was blessed by her compassionate spirit and she was so easy to talk to!”

    -Female

  • “I have grown so much working with Larissa! I learned how to let go of and heal from deep rooted shame that I carried for years and it was impacting all my relationships. I am managing my anxiety so much better now, rather than it managing me! It was nice to have a space where I could talk about my faith as a central part of who I am. Having that be a part of my counseling experience was important to me.”
