Less than a month away to register for this beautiful event. It is my prayer this will be a memory you and your daughter will cherish for a lifetime.

What if your daughter’s first experience learning about her body felt…

Safe
Normal
Even special?

Instead of confusing, awkward, or something she has to figure out alone.

That’s what led me to create an entire day dedicated to celebrating your daughter. Wonderfully Made: A Mother-Daughter Experience

This is a one day retreat designed to help girls understand their bodies and step into this new season with confidence. All while giving moms the space to walk alongside them.

No shame or awkward school talk. Just connection, education, and fun.

What this will Include:
Guided conversations about body changes and periods
A hands on period kit experience
A bonding session between moms and daughters
Snack and a meal
A meaningful closing ceremony all in a beautifully designed glamping set up❤️

Who is this for?
Girls Ages 9–13 and their mamas or female caregivers

Limited to a small group for a more personal experience.

$210 per mother/daughter pair

This is more than a workshop.
It’s something she’ll remember forever WITH you as her support.

This will be held sometime in June..looking for ideas on dates based on your recommendations !!

Please share and message me with any questions

We all face conflict whether it be in our jobs, friendships, marriage, parenting or with the general public. We have three options when we come toe to toe with it:

1) Avoid 2) Attack 3) Lean into

Conflict is often the root cause of so much pain in relationships resulting in resentment, broken hearts, and shattered families. But at the heart of it, conflict comes from a good place; a deep desire to be understood and a fear of being disconnected.

Our newsletter this month focuses on this topic along with resources and practical tips to improve your conflict skills. My prayer is that we all lean into conflict when it comes our way with truth, love and understanding.

Conflict is not surprising; it’s human. And it is as old as humanity itself.

On this Valentine's Day, it seems fitting to share my personal love story; the love story of being actively pursued by a God that is control of the entire universe.

When I think about that, I swear my heart actually skips a beat. The God, who has the whole world in his hands, cares deeply about you and your heart. Before He ever asks you to examine your own heart, He reveals His first.

I hope my story inspires you to see to where God is at work in your life.

2025 brought storms and testing that slowly unraveled my joy. As pressure and expectations mounted, I carried bitterness and shame—until God gently reminded me that His heart is not demanding, but tender, and that His love is not earned, only received.

I am inviting you to receive our monthly newsletter.

This is not intended to be another piece of junk mail in your inbox, but rather a purposeful pause, a tug at your heart, to grow into the person you were uniquely created and called to be.

Each month will carry a focused intention. Within that focus, I’ll share insights I’ve gathered not only as a clinician and researcher, but also as a wife, a mother, and a follower of Jesus Christ. Along the way, I’ll offer practical resources for deeper learning, along with information about therapeutic groups our office is offering that directly align with each month’s theme. This will also be the place to find updates about upcoming speaking events, trainings, and workshops.

If this is something you are interested in, please head to my website and enter your email into "stay in the loop".

Praying for your healing journeys.

Being a girl today is hard.

I have heard young ladies over the past several years say the same concerning things:

I don't know where I fit in
I don't know how to make a friend
I don't understand the way I feel
I am not good enough

Many girls are feeling lonely, anxious, and unsure how to navigate relationships. They often find themselves comparing, competing, and trying to measure up, often without the tools they need to manage emotions, build confidence, or form healthy friendships.

It really does not have to be this way! These heartbreaking struggles our girls are carrying led me to create a Girls Group designed to support girls right where they are. Through weekly sessions, girls will build healthy friendships while learning confidence building, leadership, and coping skills. These are tools they can carry with them and use in every peer group they come into contact with.

There are TWO groups to meet the unique developmental needs of each age group.

Younger Girls Group
Ages: 8-11
Start Date: February 17 @ 4:00 p.m.
8-week group
$40 per group or $280 total
Includes snacks, journals, workbooks, craft materials, and practical life tools

Older Girls Group
Ages: 11-15
Start Date: February 17 @ 5:30 p.m.
8-week group
$40 per group or $280 total
Includes snacks, journals, workbooks, craft materials, and practical life tools

This group isn’t about fixing girls.
It’s about strengthening them.

There are so many distractions and attacks on our peace in this world. Over time, ongoing noise can cause our bodies and brains to develop a faulty alarm system. What is a real emergency versus a false threat?

Here is some great wisdom from one of my favorite authors and ministry leaders. Don’t take the bait, take a pause ❤️

Happy 2026 ✨

As we step into a new year, my practice is expanding how we support people who are carrying the heavy stuff, the things that don’t always resolve with traditional weekly therapy alone.

My passion and clinical expertise are rooted in trauma and how it lives in both the brain and the body. Trauma shows up differently for each person, shaped by biology, family of origin, support systems (or lack of them), and lived experiences.

In 2026, I’ll be offering specialized therapy packages focused on four core areas:

• Healing trauma & substance use
• Healing trauma & depression
• Healing trauma & anxiety
• Healing trauma & OCD

Because our waitlist continues to grow, I’m creating a more accessible path to healing through intentional treatment packages that combine:
• Individual therapy
• Group work
• Online workshops
• Psychoeducational and skill-based classes

This allows us to support more people without asking them to wait months to begin healing.

Each package is designed to treat the whole person: mind, body, and soul. That means we’ll address:
• Thought patterns and nervous system responses
• Somatic work and body-based regulation (including movement and nutrition support)
• Spiritual care

I am a Christian and view Christ as the foundation of all healing. That said, you do not need to be a Christian to participate. Care will always be tailored to your personal beliefs, comfort level, and clinical needs.

If you’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, this may be a great next step.

More details coming soon 🤍
