One author, many genres, one purpose.
I write to bring hope and healing to a hurting world.
I am a faith-based author, coach, and teacher, whose writing is rooted in personal experiences and shaped by countless conversations with those seeking hope. I have walked through the trials of life just like you. Since my teen years, I have dealt with panic disorder and understand the joys and challenges of raising an individual with special needs. Whether you are escaping through my novel, finding useful tools in my anxiety workbook, or fueling your faith with my daily devotional, my prayer is that each page will strengthen your faith, and encourage your heart.
Maybe You Know This Feeling
Maybe it's the middle of the night, and your thoughts won't slow down. Maybe you're raising a child with special needs, or life has left you exhausted in a way that's hard to explain. Maybe it's been a difficult year.
I hear you.
I have wrestled with those same gnawing emotions and have written from the very place where you may be standing today. But I also write from a place of encouragement, healing, and transformation because, even on the darkest days, there is always hope.
Through my own life experiences, I have learned that struggling does not mean your faith is weak or that there is something wrong with you. Time and time again, we see that life's greatest battles are often won by the most unlikely heroes.
Whether through fiction, devotionals, or practical resources, my desire is to encourage your heart and remind you that you are stronger than you think. And yes, my friend, even with faith the size of a mustard seed, it is possible to walk in victory.
The Books
Where to Start
I write in a few different genres. Here are my three books so far, with more on the way.
Anxiety Self-Help and Workbook
Fear Less Living
Fear Less Living pairs my own story of living with panic disorder since I was a teenager with a workbook for facing fear and intrusive thoughts. Women's small groups are already using it. If you've had thoughts like that at 2 a.m., this book might help.

On the Edge of Truth
Bourne Identity meets The Notebook. On the Edge of Truth is my first novel; a clean espionage romance with threads of faith, unexpected twists, and gripping suspense that will keep you turning pages long into the night.
