About Me
My Testimony
When I was a little girl I recited the "Sinner's Prayer" and from that day until my mid 20's I thought I was a Christian, yet I had no fruit to show for it, never went to church, and knew nothing about God...
Into my 20's I was living what was a good life according to the world; I had a job I loved, a house, a car, a motorcycle, a jet ski, lots of clothes and many other "things." On top of that I had a great family, friends, a relationship, and more money than I needed. In my free time I filled my eyes, ears, and flesh with the entertaining things of the world that were supposed to be fulfilling and pleasurable; movies, music, video games, drinking, sex, and more "things." My life to the outside world seemed great. I had all I thought I needed to be "happy" but I was anything but happy! I was so empty which only increased with every worldly pleasure and sin I indulged in. I was SO spiritually blinded!
With the emptiness in my soul increasing I began questioning the point of life. I would say to myself, "there has got to be more to life than this, everything is so meaningless, and self-centered." God began showing me the true state of my evil heart which was filled with hurt and pain from others which turned toward sin, bitterness, resentment, hatred, more selfishness, and overwhelming murderous thoughts. In this realization God began drawing me to Himself and showing me how horrible I was and my desperate need for a Savior because my heart was filled with evil, pain, and sinfulness that I could not fix on my own.
God was revealing to me His love, mercy, forgiveness, and grace, all of which I did NOT deserve, but He freely offered. God's kindness led me to repentance and to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who has redeemed me, gave me a new heart, and has forgiven me of all my sins. Because of Jesus my heart has been filled to overflowing with love, meaning, and a heart to share Him with the world and bring Him glory!
My Personal Life
My wonderful husband and I have been married since 2015. God has not blessed us with any children, but we do have the cutest and quirkiest Husky, her name is Dakota. We are from Michigan and moved to Florida in 2021, we love it here and have found an incredible Church Family!
As far as my work and educational background it is kind of all over the place so I will only put the highlights. I was an EMT-Paramedic for 13 years, transitioned to the mental health field, and received a Bachelor Degree in psychology from Liberty University then a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology. I have worked as a Masters Level Psychologist, therapist, suicide and crisis counselor, a Forensic Interviewer and also as a Certified Personal Trainer. A lot of seeming randomness, but God has used it all to bring me to where I am today!
I searched the worlds ways to try to find inner healing and as I was going through my masters program I realized they can tell you everything that is wrong with you, which actually made me feel even worse and somewhat hopeless. Secular Psychology never has the cure to healing only temporary feel goods.
When a person is born again and the Holy Spirit lives inside of them HE heals us. He heals us as we learn more about how amazingly Beautiful, Kind and Gracious He is, and as we begin to see the world, sin, hope, and all things through God's Eyes.
Therefore, my heart is to help other women to learn, to know God, to provide tools and skills to last a lifetime, to develop awareness to overcome in areas of struggle, pain, or temptation, and to help cultivate daily spiritual disciplines leading to Wellness and Wholeness & MORE!
