Helping the Church Understand and Respond to Trauma with Compassion and Wisdom.

I’ve lived through the kind of trauma that leaves deep marks—abuse, loss, and years of carrying pain that felt invisible to the world around me. As a child, my home life was unsafe and unstable. I experienced the ripple effects of generational trauma, including emotional, verbal, and domestic abuse. At 18, I found my oldest brother after he had taken his own life. That moment changed everything.

I didn’t know it then, but I was already searching for something more—something redemptive. In time, I found that “more” in Jesus. My faith gave me hope, but I still carried the weight of PTSD, depression, and emotional wounds. I longed for healing. I longed to matter.

In 2019, another traumatic event brought me to my breaking point. But it also marked the beginning of deep, intentional healing—through prayer, therapy, honest community, worship, and even a trip to Israel that stirred something profound in me. God met me there. He began to redeem what I thought was ruined.

As I healed, I noticed something heartbreaking: the Church didn’t always know how to walk with people like me—those carrying invisible scars. Well-meaning believers often lacked the tools, language, and trauma awareness needed to respond with both truth and tenderness.

That’s why I became a Certified Trauma Recovery Coach. Not only to help others heal—but to equip the Church to be a place of safety, understanding, and restoration for trauma survivors.

Today, I focus on educating churches, leaders, and faith communities on how trauma impacts the body, mind, and soul—and how the Gospel speaks into it all. My mission is to bridge the gap between biblical truth and trauma-informed care, helping the Church become a place where healing is not just possible, but expected.

If you’re a pastor, ministry leader, or someone who wants to better support the hurting in your church, I’d love to help. Together, we can build spaces where people don’t have to hide their pain—but are met with the compassion of Christ and the tools for real healing.

You matter. Your story matters. And your Church can be part of someone’s healing story.
