AREAS OF SPECIAL FOCUS
|
|
|
A SEASONED COUNSELOR
|
I have spent many years helping families and young children within the DCFS, foster care, and school system. I have had the privilege of coming along-side and helping families find hope, strength and love once again. I enjoy working with women and children, watching as clients build self-confidence, resiliency, and wholeness. As a child of domestic violence and trauma, It is a privilege to help women and families heal from the trauma and brokenness that the past has caused. My heart has and always will be to bring a living Jesus to the broken.

COMMITTED TO FAMILY
|
My primary ministry is to God and my family, I have been blessed to have been married to my husband for 14 years. Together we have seven beautiful children and two amazing fur babies (Mastiff and English Bulldog). I have been given the privilege with God’s assistance to grow and establish our big and beautiful multi-ethnic blended family. We strive daily to nurture and enhance not only the joys, but also the trials of having such a large, blended family.

COMMITTED TO MINISTRY
|
In 2005 God called me into the healing ministry, I remember the moment vividly sitting in church and hearing the Holy Spirit tell me “You will bring a living Jesus to a dying marriage and family”. It was then that my journey began in healing myself, the journey has had many highs and many lows, and I believe that I have been called and anointed to be used by God to heal the broken. I have spent many years in the body of Christ laboring with many women and children in their journey to health and wholeness. I am committed to coming alongside the broken hearted and being used by the Holy Spirit to mend the heart.

PRICING & INSURANCE

Stella's standard rate is $130 per session. She offers a sliding scale where the price is based upon the client's monthly household net income so it can be lowered down if the client's income qualifies. Stella is an out of network provider and does not directly bill insurance. She can provide clients with a superbill to submit for reimbursement through their insurance company.
