About Me

 I first understood my need for Christ's salvation as a child. For many years, I felt it was me and Jesus against a world where I did not belong. Through many struggles in school and trouble with peers, the Holy Spirit taught me many things. Although there were ups and downs, and times of compromising my faith, I knew as a teenager I was called to become a Christian Coach and Counselor.


I have struggled with my own stress, trauma, anxiety, grief, and ADHD. I have found that although counseling and psychology were helpful, Jesus is the ultimate healer and almighty counselor so my approach to both coaching and counseling include Jesus.

​

My wonderful husband and I have been married since 2006 and have three amazing children. God has blessed us beyond measure but not without hardship. I am blessed to be able to encourage others through my counseling, coaching and my writting. 

Notebook and Pen

In 2012 I opened Live Wellness Center, a Christian Counseling Center in Columbus, Ohio. During the start up, God started speaking to my heart about writing for public viewing. Although I was busy running that counseling center and starting my family, my 5am dates with Jesus sustained me. To balance my baby phase with something creative, I started with a a blog on the Center's website and published my personal Bible study and journals into my first book "Perspective: How the power of a Biblical Perspective can change your life" in early 2020. I love to write about applying God's Word to every day life.


After publishing that book, I developed the same perspectives into a devotional, a therapeutic model of Christian counseling and a workbook the therapists at my center and I use in our counseling and coaching sessions. As a therapeutic exercise for myself, I also started a children's book series to teach my kids the lessons I wish I had known as a child. The fist two books are now available on Amazon.

​

During the pandemic, the loss of structure, lack of socialization and prolonged survival mode stressed my brain beyond it's usual capacity. Although I was diagnosed with ADHD in college, it hadn't been much of a thought since then, until I reached total overload. Feeling like my brain was broken and I was falling apart, I started to dig into research. I learned that ADHD has been vastly misrepresented in our culture, especially how it effects adult women. I feel passionately that if women don't get the correct information, so they can correctly balance their lives and take care of themselves, they will start to feel like they are falling apart.

​

In June 2022, the Lord placed on my heart that it was time to hand over leadership of the counseling practice to my wonderfully talented and competent business partners and start down a new path of learning. As I continue to follow God one step at a time I continued my training in Life Purpose Coaching and ADHD Coaching/Counseling. 

​

Getting myself to a new level of healing and bring my new found insight for the betterment of my family, all of which also have ADHD, I was finally feeling on top of the world. 

​

Then one random day in June 2023 I woke up after having a seizure in my sleep. My husband got me to the hospital and a significant brain tumor was found needing removal. In the waiting not sure of what I was facing the truths that God had brought me through in writing my book "Perspective: How the power of a Biblical Perspective can change your life" was extraordinarily invaluable as I was able to cast anxiety aside and focus on what God was teaching me and those around me. 

​

It was then that I realized that I needed to share my book with as many Christians as I could. A Biblical perspective of the purpose of our lives, the purpose of our trials and the depth of God's love allowed me to face something that was once my darkest nightmare with a peace, patience and surrender that I would have never dreamed possible back in 2012. God is so good. Live out Romans 8:28 is undeniable proof of that.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 NIV
