After several years of working abroad, I know very well the challenges of living cross-culturally, missionary life, ministry demands and expectations, and the struggles of repatriation. I know the paradoxes of the best and the worst, the good and the hard.
I left missionary life extremely burned out, dealing with compassion fatigue and the effects of primary and secondary traumas. I know broken, toxic systems. I know spiritual abuse and spiritual bypassing. I know burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, constant transitions, constant stress, threats to safety, health, and well-being and the toll it takes on one's entire being. I had to re-learn the importance of self-care in order to be able to care for others once more.
I offer you a safe space to process with someone who knows and understands.
I provide counseling and coaching for missionaries. Counseling must be done in accordance with WI state laws (must have a physical address in WI for Telethealth). Coaching can be done from any location.
In addition to the above, I'm happy to work with your organization, church, ministry, and workers in any aspect of member care. I can provide education on mental health and the importance of member care, as well as advocate for you and/or your workers.
