I served as a minister for my first career. I helped many people make sense of difficult events and endure disappointments and then embrace hope and experience fulfillment in lives. However, experiencing mental illness and addiction in my family made me realize what life was like when everything was falling apart, and nothing made sense.

I experienced firsthand the hopelessness, misunderstanding, and isolation associated with mental illness. I wanted to help others who were going through similar circumstances have an ally in their struggle to find peace. Now with personal experience, an excellent education, and training under my belt — I work to show honor, support, hope, along with a workable plan to empower those fighting mental health and emotional illness.
