I didn’t always have this hope.

In fact, in 2022, I was in the middle of a mental health crisis, and God felt further away from me than ever. My anxiety, depression, and trauma from past abuse spiraled into suicidal thoughts. This led me to quit my full-time job, pause my ministry, and desperately seek help…

I was caught in a mental storm.

I didn’t work again for 9 months. During that time, counselors, family, and friends began to intervene.

I spent months of hell…
• Struggling to trust God
• Barely able to get out of bed
• Unraveling childhood trauma
• Balling my eyes out in counseling
• Testing out different antidepressants
• And carrying shame for needing help

Healing came slowly.

• Through the arms of loved ones
• Through the way Jesus pursued me
• Through therapy sessions
• Through medication
• Through grace for myself
• Through rewiring my thoughts

Now I share the hope I have online.

I still struggle with anxiety and depression. But now, I have hope. Hope that another day is another miracle. Hope that God doesn’t waste a single ounce of our pain. Hope that we’ve been given tools and safe people who can help us heal.

This is not the end of your story. Jesus is near, redeeming all that is broken and leading you into a deeper faith.

🖤DEEP FEELER

I feel all the feelings. If you’re crying, I’m crying. Empathizing with others is my superpower.

☕LATTE DRINKER

Exploring new coffee shops and drinking plain iced lattes are the best. I can also go for a soy chai latte or a matcha latte. Just no black coffee.

🐰BUNNY LOVER

During my mental health crisis, I brought home the cutest Dutch bunny, named Ollie Oakley. In 2024, we welcomed home Coco, a black holland lop.

🎤poetry spitter

I love performing spoken word poetry for churches, schools, and other ministries.

🌵succulent killer

I love succulents, but they don’t love me. The first succulent I ever owned was named Pickle. My bunny ate him.
