My husband died in 2013.

God has given me a strength and bravery to push through life altering loss to find His goodness on the other side.

I’m a writer, speaker, wife, and mother of four who believes honest stories have the power to heal. I live in Western Washington, where much of my work is rooted in faith and shaped by lived experience—especially the journey through grief, loss, and the slow rebuilding of hope.

I write for those navigating hard seasons and longing for reminders that they are not alone and that God is present, even in the midst of pain.

Alongside my writing and speaking, I serve as a ministry director at my church, where I have the privilege of overseeing and supporting various ministries. This role continues to shape my heart for people—creating spaces where individuals can belong, serve, and grow while encountering grace and healing through community and faith.

Through writing, speaking, and meaningful connection, I seek to help others process their stories with honesty and grace. I’m especially passionate about walking alongside fellow writers—encouraging them, sharing work, and supporting creative callings that point toward truth, hope, and restoration.

Connection matters deeply to me. I love networking, collaborating, and partnering with others through guest writing, events, podcasts, and publications. Whether I’m speaking at an event or connecting one-on-one, my heart is the same: to help others move toward healing, faith, and renewed hope. I’m honored you’re here.
