Even though she was raised in a Christian home, Emily struggled to understand God’s love for her. From a young age, she believed traumatic events were supposed to be ignored and that God was constantly waiting for her to fail. Emily’s life began to shift when she attended a women’s retreat and learned about Mercy’s Center for Wellness and Counseling.

Through counseling at Mercy, Emily found transformation while experiencing gentleness and kindness in ways she never had before. By finding peace and healing in the Lord, she began to break generational patterns of trauma that had impacted her family for years. Emily’s time at Mercy not only transformed her own life but also healed her relationship with her daughter. She now has the tools to spread the news of healing and freedom to her children and grandchildren.
