With more than 30 years of experience in mentoring and discipleship, I’ve come to believe that healing is possible, and God loves to restore what has been broken. It is a privilege to have walked alongside so many women seeking healing and transformation. I’m also a speaker, writer, and mentor to college students—each role giving me opportunities to champion women toward wholeness, clarity, and confidence in Christ.

In the past decade alone, my family has grown, I’m now a grandmother, and I’ve moved halfway across the country from Southern California to Tennessee. I traded in peacocks for vultures in my backyard— trust me, I know life transitions!

I’ve loved Jesus since I was eight years old, and my life has been a patchwork of grace, growth, and unexpected turns ever since. My childhood is filled with many stories that shaped how I let others define me rather than tell them who I was.

‍In college, I was drawn to psychology— I wanted to know why people were the way they were. My B.A. in Psychology gave me a compassionate lens towards others. By learning why we are the way we are, I had a framework for my innate empathy to rely on.

‍After college, I married and started my family. As a mother, I learned I had so much love to give, but I was surprised to find out there was a lot of anger bubbling up from deep wounds in my past. I listened to God gently, sometimes loudly, tell me that it was time to heal. This started a decades-long journey towards my own uncovering and retelling of my stories of harm. I now am a Freedom Academy Certified Trauma-Informed Coach, which is a program that teaches StoryWork.

It would be my honor to walk with you toward healing and hope.
