  • Like Paul expressed in Philippians 3, although I may have many "impressive ‘qualifications’ (listed above), they are worthless compared to the finished work of Christ on the cross. The only true ‘qualification’ I have is found in Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.”  His power to heal and restore the brokenhearted has no equal. I’ve been honored to witness it time and again— both in my own life and in the lives of others.

    There is no greater honor than when God chooses to use me in fulfilling Isaiah 61— bringing good news to the poor, comforting the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to captives, and setting free those imprisoned by emotional and spiritual bondage.

  • I work in various scenarios, however most commonly work with:

    • Trauma/PTSD

    • Sexual Abuse 

    • Depression/Anxiety

    • Spiritual Warfare

    • Autoimmune and Chronic Pain/Health Issues

    • Gene Mutation: MTHFR & Mental Health

    • Women's Issues

    • Parenting Issues

    • Blended Family Struggles

    • Autism Spectrum Disorders (especially in females) from all angles: personal, parenting, marriage, career, etc.  

    I typically work with women; however, there are a few situations where I make an exception:

    • Collaborating with one of our male disciples or ministry partners with married individuals

    • Specific scenarios where men working with our male disciples or ministry partners would benefit from my expertise.

My Story

One might say I have lived a very colorful life and, as a result, have no business leading others in ministry. But, that is not how Jesus chose His disciples, nor is it how He called me.

I do not consider myself better - or worse - than anyone else.  I am simply a woman who graduated from the school of hard knocks, entrusted with the gift of empathy and compassion, and walking my own imperfect story alongside others to the glory of God.

Combining my life experiences and over twenty years inner-healing ministry (starting and continuing with my own), there isn’t much I haven’t encountered. Cutting straight to the chase: Yes, the spiritual world is real, yes you can fight in it, and no you are not crazy…  But you need Jesus, you need surrender, you need forgiveness. You need a guide who has been there - someone who lived in the trenches and knows the way back out.

I am simply called to walk alongside others and share wisdom I have gained through the Holy Spirit and God working in my life. I am rooted in the Word, resting in the Grace, and trusting in His Wisdom. I am blessed to be a child of God as well as a mom, wife, stepmom, and now … Granny!  (Yes, in that order.)

God truly does use ALL THINGS for His Glory!!!

Back to Our Team

Got Ministry Questions?

As someone who has been in ministry for over 20 years, I have experienced and witnessed a lot. I enjoy a challenge and am happy to assist other ministries as needed. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like to schedule a brainstorming session where I might be able to offer guidance or insight into your situation or one you are working with.

I believe as members of the “C”hurch, we are called to link arms with one another and walk together in serving Him and His people. Ministry or denominational lines should never stand in the way of that.

To schedule a time to meet, please send an email with the subject line of “Ministry Consultation Request” to the email listed below. You may also call or text the ministry’s office phone number provided below. One of our team members will respond as soon as possible so we can get a time scheduled on the calendar.

I look forward to connecting!
