About Me

Like many who resonate with the story of the prodigal child, I know what it’s like to run—chasing fulfillment through empty places, weighed down by guilt, shame, and pain. I believed in God. I had given my life to Christ as a child. But somewhere along the way, I became convinced that He wasn’t actively involved in my life. (Looking back, I now see just how wrong I was.)

I carried into adulthood a mix of half-truths from childhood, deep shame over past decisions, and growing disillusionment with the life I was living. I numbed the ache with coping mechanisms that only led to more trauma and deeper depression.

Functioning was hard. Breathing was hard. I couldn’t explain it at the time, but I felt abandoned, broken, betrayed, and unworthy—unrecoverable. Even in my attempts to cope, nothing seemed to work. And while I now understand the spiritual dynamics behind it all, the truth is: I was afraid.

Eventually, I could no longer deny that the life I thought I had built was only an illusion. That reckoning was painful—but it also became a turning point. As I began to experience the reality of a personal, healing relationship with Christ, I realized how much I didn’t know… and how much freedom and forgiveness was waiting for me.

The healing I’ve experienced is still ongoing—but now, I’m not just surviving. I’m finally living.

Today, it’s my joy to walk with others on their own “Freedom Path.” I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Religion with a concentration in Biblical Counseling and completed the Advanced Exchanged Life Pastoral Counseling Program through Healing Grace Ministries. I specialize in helping people discover the truth of who they are in Christ and find the freedom that only He can provide.

You are worth the journey. The road to healing and maturity in Christ can be difficult, but it is filled with purpose. When you slow down, reflect honestly, and open your heart to Him—you’ll never be the same. And that’s the whole point.
