About Me

 Working in mental health as a licensed marriage and family therapist has allowed me the opportunity to listen to the hearts of many hurting people and find ways to connect and help them through their pain.  I have just recently dipped my toe into the formal writing world (and actually just submitted my first book proposal for a book of devotions!), but have been writing informally for 20 years as a way of processing and recording my thoughts and prayers. I love sharing the inspirations God gives me with followers on social media in hopes of bringing encouragement and peace. 

By God's grace, I was saved when I was young and developed a passion for reading and studying His Word. Scripture is so rich! Full of truth, and real, inspiring stories, God still speaks powerfully through it today. This foundation is what guides my writing. 

I also draw from my personal journey as I navigate hard times and learn to continue trusting God and finding His hand at work even when I don't see it. 

My hope is to be able to come alongside you and allow you to feel connected and understood. I am a firm believer that mental and spiritual health are closely linked, and hope to help you make this connection as you join me on this journey. 

I would love to hear your story, your questions, and your thoughts and be an ally for you in this scary world (even if that scary world is just inside your thought life). There is hope! 

I was born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, and now reside in Tennessee with my husband and 3 young children. 

I really enjoy a quiet day at home with family, reading a good book, being outside in the sunshine (preferably at the beach), and eating delicious food, especially if nachos are involved.

 I am an Enneagram Type 1, ISFJ, and Type A personality in every aspect. Obviously, I love a good color-coded file system. And lists. All the lists.
