I am passionate about seeing people—especially children—experience love, care, and healing in a way that restores relationships with self, God, and others. My journey has shown me that true healing happens through meaningful relationships and engaging with the world around us.

For many, trauma and adversity create barriers to trust, identity, and belonging. I believe that by integrating trauma-informed care, faith, and the natural world, we can create spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive.

Experience & Credentials:

✅ Master’s in Team-Based Communication – Focused on trauma-informed care & leadership

✅ 20+ years of mentorship, coaching, and youth outreach

✅ Experience in fostering, justice-involved youth, and addiction recovery

✅ YWAM Staff since 2008, serving across three continents

At CareImpact, I work to equip churches, nonprofits, and communities with the tools and training needed to support children and families impacted by trauma.

My work includes:
✅ TBRI® Practitioner & Trauma Competent Care Trainer, equipping others with trauma-informed strategies
✅ Mentoring & coaching in outdoor experiential learning and community engagement
✅ Helping churches & organizations implement relational approaches to healing
✅ Facilitating cross-sector collaboration to create lasting community impact

With a Master’s in Team-Based Communication, I focus on leadership, trauma-informed care, and spiritual formation—ensuring that healing is not just a concept but a lived-out practice.

Outside of work, my heart is for mentorship and discipleship. I lead youth, walk alongside women in challenging transitions, and work closely with my local church to create sustainable community impact.

I’ve worked with:

• Indigenous women in the justice system

• Refugees & youth aging out of care

• Foster families & children with disabilities

• Women reintegrating after incarceration

No one should have to walk through suffering alone. My passion is to ensure that faith communities are not just aware of these struggles—but actively engaged in bringing healing and transformation.

I believe that nature, community, and faith are powerful tools for healing. My vision is to:

🌱 Equip churches & communities to support those healing from trauma
🏕️ Create outdoor experiences that promote connection & restoration
🤝 Help families, children, and individuals build resilience & thrive

Healing doesn’t just happen in counseling rooms—it happens in relationships, in movement, and in creation. Through mentorship, teaching, and hands-on experiences, I want to help others find belonging, restoration, and purpose.
