Science and Scripture say the same thing: you were made for more than this.
Twenty-five years helping Christians heal from the inside out.
Let's find your way forward.

You’ve been praying. Pushing. Showing up for everyone who needs you.
And somewhere along the way, your own body started sending a different message. Tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. Going through the motions.
Wondering quietly if something is wrong with you – or your faith.
That tension isn’t a character flaw. It’s a signal worth listening to.
You should be more grateful. You should pray more, have more faith. Stop complaining.
You’ve been shoulding yourself into the ground.
That’s exactly what this work addresses. You don’t have to keep running on empty – relief is one conversation away.

Your brain lives in a body. It’s fed by your gut, shaped by your sleep, lit up by sunlight, restored by rest.
The NEWSTART framework treats all of it – healing isn’t just mental. It’s physical and spiritual too.
When each area improves, the changes compound. Small shifts produce a synergistic effect, amounting to more than the sum of their parts.

Most therapy treats the mind and leaves the body out of it.
This approach doesn't.
Working through NEWSTART, you'll:
This is where the spiritual and the clinical stop being separate things.
Nutrition, movement, water, and sunlight: the physical foundation your brain requires to heal.Your body stops working against you.
Temperance, fresh air, and restorative sleep: practices that regulate your nervous system and create margin.You stop running on fumes.
Trust in Divine Power as the anchor point. Purpose, meaning, and the upward focus that rewires how you see yourself.Faith becomes fuel, not just obligation.
The science of healing and a biblical worldview point to the same truth. I've spent 25 years integrating CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Informed Care with the conviction that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Research is still mapping it, but the gut-brain axis is real: your mood, your thoughts, your capacity to receive grace are all affected by the body housing your brain. This lines up with what Scripture has always said about the whole person.
You'll know it's working. One client's physician tracks her progress quarterly and tells her to keep coming. Another client put it plainly: the healing is taking place at a rapid pace.

What matters is that your faith is real to you and it belongs in your healing. I work from a biblical worldview and won’t ask you to leave it at the door.
Most approaches treat the mind alone. NEWSTART goes deeper, addressing your nutrition, sleep, movement, and the spiritual connection you were designed for, so when those pieces are in order, therapy lands differently.
Yes. I see clients across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho via telehealth, and the work translates fully, including the physical and spiritual components of NEWSTART.
Completely. Many of the people I work with have been the strong one for so long that receiving feels foreign, even selfish, and that’s usually the first thing we work through together.
There is no single answer, and what I can tell you is that the changes tend to hold. I work at the pace your life actually requires, and some people notice meaningful shifts quickly, especially when the physical pieces come first.
