God has given me a deep desire to walk alongside women in seasons of transition, uncertainty, and growth—helping them experience the safety, freedom, and hope that come from living in His love. My heart is to create a space where the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—can be seen, heard, and restored through the healing encounter with Christ.
Experience
I have served in leadership and mentorship roles for over 20 years, blending a background in business within the healthcare industry with a deep heart for ministry and healing. As Co-Executive Director of Free to Be Ministries, I help guide our mission to offer holistic, Christ-centered care that addresses the whole person.
Through my vocation as an Integrative Prayer Counselor, I accompany women through difficult seasons, integrating psychology, spirituality, and relational connection to help them live more fully from places of freedom and health. My journey has also included leading retreats, speaking at conferences, and developing content that encourages men and women to embrace both God’s truth and His tender mercy in their daily lives.

Personal Note
I’m married to my husband, Dominic, of 23 years, and together we’ve raised two wonderful daughters. I love hiking in beautiful places, traveling to discover new experiences, creating warm and welcoming spaces in my home, and enjoying good music, food and conversation with family and friends.
