About Me
My faith journey began early.
I attended a Christian school from first through sixth grade, navigating life as an only child. It was at that school where I accepted Jesus as my Savior, and that moment sewed the thread of consistency into the fabric of my journey.
My mother had mental health issues and she held a tight grip on my world. Losing my father when I was just three years old left me feeling adrift, but it was during those formative years that I discovered a higher authority—one who loved me unconditionally.
Understanding the true depth of that love took me decades, but the idea of it became a beacon of hope in my life. Though my faith has wavered and wandered over the years, I always found my way back to my rock—God.
Life has thrown many challenges my way: growing up with a narcissistic mother, navigating the complexities of early marriage, facing bankruptcy, enduring divorce, and grappling with the heartbreaking loss of my former husband to suicide.
Yet, through these trials, I recommitted to my faith.
It often takes moments of profound hopelessness and tragedy to bring us back to God, and I reached a point where I realized that no one else could truly care for me, comfort me, or guide me like He could.
After my divorce, I spent a transformative year in Arizona, where I chose to be rebaptized as an adult to commemorate my new life. This experience ignited a passion in me to help others, leading me to become a Divorce Care facilitator and later a Stephen Ministry Leader.
My heart's desire is to extend the same comfort and hope that God has so generously given me during my darkest times. I wrote a book titled Divorce is Not Destiny, weaving together my experiences, insights from my time as a facilitator, and the results of my research into a guide to bring hope and healing to others.
Throughout my life, I have discovered that even in the midst of struggle, there is joy to be found if you look, and I’m here to help you find it.
