Grounded in a Christian worldview, I integrate faith and Christian values into therapy as it aligns to my clients, providing a supportive environment for clients to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and achieve meaningful growth. My experience as a youth group leader further informs my understanding of family and adolescent development within a faith context."

Philosophy of Discipline

Discipline That Shapes Hearts and Builds Character

At The King’s Academy, discipline is rooted in love, grace, and the desire to help students grow in character and Christlikeness.
 

We believe correction should be restorative, not merely punitive—an opportunity to guide students toward responsibility, reflection, and reconciliation.

Through consistent expectations, compassionate conversations, and a partnership with families, our goal is to shape hearts, not just behavior, and to equip students to make wise, God-honoring choices.

Spiritual Life & Relational Ministry

Relational ministry is at the heart of TKA’s mission. Through chapels, retreats, and other programs, the Spiritual Life team fosters connection:

  • Between students and staff

  • Among peers

  • And most importantly, between students and the Lord

We believe small, consistent investments in relationships cultivate deep faith and a strong sense of belonging.

Emotionally Safe Environment

TKA is committed to a school environment free of harassment, including racism and bullying. Such behaviors contradict our Christian values and will not be tolerated.

To report incidents, students can:

  • Speak directly to the appropriate Dean

  • Use the STOPit app for anonymous reporting of bullying, cyber abuse, discrimination, or to ask for help

Consequences may include disciplinary action up to and including suspension, expulsion, or legal referral, depending on the severity.

Our goal is to ensure all students feel seen, supported, and safe—online and on campus.
