In Her Own Words. 

 Dare to Unlock the Door – A Journey to Freedom and Wholeness, is my first book and was divinely commissioned and birthed out of the desire to help others who have struggled to achieve freedom from the dark places and walk in the light of wholeness. Because of my background and family history, the desire to bring healing to families has always been my heart's passion. Giving voice to the often silent or ignored cries.

There is nothing better than helping point people to a place of hope and freedom, and that means being real with the struggles we face.

​

I am a teacher, a preacher, a counselor, I am a daughter, a wife, and a mother among other things, but more than that I am a person just like you. I know what it is to be wounded and broken but I also know the victory of what it is to find freedom and wholeness.
