I’m a Mississippi native turned long-time Emerald Coast local, living in Fort Walton Beach with my husband and our four amazing daughters.

For the past twenty years, serving in ministry has been at the very heart of my life. My journey has included international mission work, ministering to college students, and serving for eleven years as the Families Director at Gathering Church—where my family attends and my husband serves as an elder. Across every season, my deepest passion has remained the same: seeing people experience the radical, transformative love of Jesus. But to be completely honest, for a long time, I felt stuck when walking alongside people going through major life struggles. I knew the Gospel brought freedom, I didn’t know how to practically apply the Bible to help them heal.

That’s what led me to Biblical counseling. I used to think counseling wasn't for me because the pressure to change people felt too heavy. But I quickly realized that I don’t do the changing—God does! My job is simply to walk with you and point you to the Truth. I don’t have all the answers, but I serve an incredible God who does! Whether you're wrestling with anxiety, a struggling relationship, grief, or simply feeling distant from God, I want you to know: there is real hope, and you don't have to carry it alone. I'd be honored to walk this journey with you.
