I am a licensed Pastor with a bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology, Elementary Education and a Masters in Pastoral Counseling. I am currently on staff at Mountain Lake Alliance Church. I am married to Doug and have three grown children, two of whom are married, and a granddaughter who I love to hang out with and spoil.
I grew up in a small town where I learned the value of family, love, grace and was given a strong work ethic. I also lived in a large city for 20 years learning the importance of family and friendship. I have gone through trauma, verbal and emotional abuse, divorce, chronic pain and illness, all of which ravished my soul and carried it far from a healthy place. Through learning how to lean into Jesus and his care, and vital soul care principles God has restored and healed me and I have found a safe haven for my soul to live.
