I lived in deep darkness for many years, looking in all the wrong places for the perfect love, hope, joy and peace of Jesus. I was full of fear and had no hope. I ended up in jail, 12-step rooms, and abortion clinics, involuntarily committed at a mental hospital, down dark New Age spiritual rabbit holes, and finally, at the foot of the cross. Now I get excited about helping the spiritually poor and needy know the truth of God’s unfailing love for them in Jesus. I love to support teens and young adults as a clinical counselor, host beautiful gatherings for my local community, bring biblical wisdom to life through creative worksheets, and write about what God has done and is doing. I reside in Orange County, California with my husband and our two puppies.
